All's quiet on the front, smokey room
boxer standing tall,peering through
finding no one left to fight,what to do?
to the ring to the right point of view

We are the boxers, we know, no
peaceful sleep tonight
lonely reign X3
whistle solo over chorus chords,
end on D
*the recurring descending riff is
simply the low E (dropped to D)
and D strings descending in
unison from the fifth fret to
open position. (Notes would be
G,F#,E,D,octaves)
