Looks like he's tuned a half step up, but capo on the 1st fret works.
[Intro]
G Am G
[Verse 1]
Am Friend of Jesus,F tall and trim
C Deep and old timer inGside the city jail
Am The unknown fighter Fsteps into the gym
C Takes his corner and Gsends for the bell
[Chorus]
F Someday very soon the Cworld will know his name
E He feels with every punch he's Flandin'
Another uppercut, aCnother man goes down
FDown to the Gground, he's still Amstandin', FmmmG C
[Interlude]
G Am G
[Verse 2]
Am Small dark faces,F smoke and bling
C The dark side warehouse has Gseen better nights
Am The unknown fighter Fsteps into the ring
C It don't matter his Gname is not in lights
[Chorus]
F Someday very soon the Cworld will know his name
E He feels with every punch he's Flandin'
Another uppercut, aCnother man goes down
FDown to the Gground, he's still Amstandin', FmmmG
