The prizef[D]ighter and the h[A]eiress
Both tal[G]ented in their w[D]ay
Both fig[D]hting for inh[A]eritance
Both ent[G]itled to their d[D]ay

Said the f[D]ella, "I've thrown [A]my gloves
And loo[G]sed my sh[D]oes
Come jo[D]in me in the r[A]ing, my friend
Quit th[G]ese lonesome [D]bl[A]ue[G]s
Quit my[G] lonesome [D]bl[A]ue[G]s"

The la[D]dy thought the lon[A]gest while
And ba[G]thed the time in l[D]ight
She ca[D]me to the concl[A]usion
That he [G]hadn't won the f[D]ight

"Put your gl[D]oves back on," s[A]he says
"And ste[G]ady with your pr[D]ide
You've d[D]ealt the eldest hand, m[A]y love
But th[G]at part of me has [D]di[A]ed[G]
That part[G] of me has [D]di[A]ed[G]"

I'm a fo[D]rtune telling co[A]ncubine
I'm a tr[G]oubleshot sa[D]loon
You're a we[D]lterweight co[A]mpanion
And your l[G]ight is at the l[D]oom

I'd ra[D]ther chase my opt[A]ions now
And pl[G]ace you in the p[D]ast
The fu[D]ture's not yet wr[A]itten
Though the d[G]ie behind me is [D]ca[A]st[G]
The d[G]ie behind me is [D]ca[A]st[G]

I do[D]n't know any[G]thing about y[D]ou
But I'm s[A]ure that the do[G]ors of per[Em]ception
Are tr[G]ue in their w[D]ays
In the f[Em]ace of it a[G]ll
In the s[G]tark staring f[D]ace of i[Bm]t

[Bm] [A] [Bm]
[D]  [A] [Bm] [A] [Bm]

If you a[Bm]sk me where I'm g[D]oing
I'll tel[A]l you where I've [Bm]been
'Cept yo[D]u don't remember [D5]yesterday
        [A]          ([Bm] [A])[Bm]
And I don't remember anything

"J[Bm]ourney me w[D]est
Or j[A]ourney me s[Bm]outh"
Said, "Pl[D]ease put me d[D5]own
          [A]     ([Bm]  [A])  [Bm]
Where my heart meets my mouth
M[A]eets my m[Bm]outh"

E[G]nd of the req[D]uiem
E[F#]nd of the f[Bm]ight
E[G]nd of the str[D]uggles
At the [Bm]end of t[A]he n[D]ight

S[Bm]top where you l[D]augh
And l[A]ook where you [Bm]walk
M[D]anage your h[D5]ead
        [A]   ([Bm] [A])  [Bm]
As you lighten your talk

S[Bm]olace made b[D]ones
And they're ch[A]anting for [Bm]air
S[D]ucking from m[D5]ead
        [A]    ([Bm] [A]) [Bm]
In the coast of Rosslare
O[A]f Ross[Bm]lare

E[G]nd of the req[D]uiem
E[F#]nd of the f[Bm]ight
E[G]nd of the str[D]uggles
At the [Bm]end of t[A]he n[D]ight

[Bm]Me and my dr[D]eam
As [A]me and my g[Bm]irl
Have m[D]ore than
    [D5]             [A]  ([Bm] [A]) [Bm]
A thousand square miles to twirl

The e[Bm]arth loves her ch[D]ildren
Look and d[A]on't break your s[Bm]tride
K[D]eep watching fo[D5]rward
        [A]    ([Bm]  [A])  [Bm]
Got an owl, watch my pride
W[A]atch my p[Bm]ride

T[G]hanks for the d[D]ark
T[F#]hanks for the l[Bm]ight
T[G]hanks for my gu[D]ide
At the [Bm]end of t[A]he n[D]ight

E[G]nd of the req[D]uiem
E[F#]nd of the f[Bm]ight
E[G]nd of the str[D]uggles
At the [Bm]end, at t[A]he [Bm]end
At t[A]he [Bm]end of t[A]he n[D]ight
