              Bm
Well, there's no way out of Marrickville
        Bm                      D   G
for the son of the hard working man
          Bm
Where the punk who has the muscle
       Bm                  D   G
is the leader of the local gang
            Bm
Well, there ain't no time for discussion
          Bm               D   G
And there ain't no time to waste
         Bm
You just take him on single handed
    Bm                A      D
You push him, 'til he breaks


[Chorus]
         F     C/E        Csus2    G
He said, "Hey!   And baby that's alright
      C           G        D
I can take it for one more round.
        F            C/E        Csus2   G
You can give me your best shot, baby
        C          G           D
but the boy keeps  knockin 'em down".


[Verse]
      Bm
So he grew up wild and reckless
       Bm                  D     G
and he grew up   quick and mean
        Bm
'Til an enterprising gentleman
        Bm               D     G
put his talents   in the ring.
          Bm
He said, "Boy you're just a renegade
        Bm               D     G
You got no place left to hide.
      Bm
I can make you fame and fortune,
      Bm              A      D
maybe champion of the world?"


[Chorus]
         F     C/E        Csus2    G
He said, "Hey!   And baby that's alright
      C           G        D
I can take it for one more round.
        F            C/E        Csus2   G
You can give me your best shot, baby
        C          G           D
but the boy keeps  knockin 'em down..."

but the boy keeps  knockin 'em down..."

Well, there's blood on the canvas and leather
       Bm                 D    G
And he learned his lesson well
        Bm
But the boy keeps swingin' those punches
        Bm               D    G
'Til he hears that final bell


[Chorus]

I can stand here whole my time.
