x2

 [D]  He was born in Big Beaver by the  [Bm]  borderline

 [G]  He started playing  [D]  hockey by the  [A]  time he was nine

 [D]  His dad took the hose and froze the back  [G]  yard

 [D]  And Little Buddy dreamed he was  [A]  Rocket  [D]  Richard

 [G]  He grew up big and he  [G]  grew  [A]  up  [Bm]  tough

 [D]  He saw himself scoring for the  [A]  Wings or  [G]  Canucks

 [G]  But he wasn't that  [A]  good with a  [D]  puck

 [D]  Buddy's real talent was  [Bm]  beating people up

 His  [G]  heart wasn't  [D]  in it but the  [A]  crowd ate it up

 [D]  Through pee-wees and juniors, midgets and  [G]  mites

 [D]  He must have racked up more than  [A]  three hundred  [D]  fights

 'Til a  [G]  scout from the Flames came down from  [A] Saska [Bm] toon

 [D]  Said, "There's always room on our  [A]  team for a  [G]  goon

 [G]  Son, we've always got room for a  [A]  goon"

There were  [D]  Swedes  [A]  to the  [G]  left of him

 [D]  Russians  [A]  to the  [G]  right

A  [D]  Czech  [A]  at the  [G]  blue line  [Bm]  looking for a  [A]  fight

 [G]  Brains over  [D]  brawn; that  [G]  might work for  [Bm]  you

 [G]  But what's a  [D]  Canadian  [A]  farm boy to  [D]  do?

 [G]  What else can a  [D]  farm boy from  [A]  Canada  [D]  do?

 [G]  But what's a  [D]  Canadian  [A]  farm boy to  [D]  do?

 [G]  What else can a  [D]  farm boy from  [A]  Canada  [D]  do?

 [D]  "Hit somebody!" was  [Bm]  what the crowd roared

When  [G]  Buddy the  [D]  goon came  [A]  over the boards

 [D]  "Coach," he said, "I wanna score  [G]  goals"

 [D]  The coach said, "Buddy, remember  [A]  your  [D]  role

The  [G]  fast guys get paid, they shoot  [A]  and they  [Bm]  score

 [D]  Protect them, Buddy, that's  [A]  what you're here  [G]  for

(Repeat intro twice over this section:)

Protection is what you're here for

Protection-it's the stars that score

Protection-kick somebody's ass

Protection-don't put the biscuit in the basket just

 [D]  hit somebody!"; it rang in his  [Bm]  ears

 [G]  Blood on the  [D]  ice ran  [A]  down through the years

 [D]  The king of the goons with a box for a  [G]  throne

A  [D]  thousand stitches and  [A]  broken  [D]  bones

 G  He never lost a fight on his  A  icy  Bm  patrol

 D  But deep inside, Buddy only  A  dreamed of a  G  goal

 G  He just wanted one damn  A  goal

There were  D  Swedes  A  at the the  G  blue line

 D  Finns  A  at the  G  red

 D  A Russian  A  with a  G  stick heading  Bm  straight for his  A  head

 G  Brains over  D  brawn-that  G  might work for  Bm  you

But  G  what's a  D  Canadian  A  farm boy to  D  do?

What  G  else can a  D  farm boy from  A  Canada  D  do?

But  G  what's a  D  Canadian  A  farm boy to  D  do?

What  G  else can a  D  farm boy from  A  Canada  D  do?

In his  G  final  D  season, on his  A  final night

 G  Buddy and a  D  Finn goon were  A  pegged for a fight

 G  Thirty seconds left, the  A  puck took a  Bm  roll

And  G  suddenly Buddy  D  had a  A  shot on  Bm  goal

The  D  goalie committed, Buddy  Bm  picked his spot

 G  Twenty years of  D  waiting went  A  into that shot

 D  The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped  G  too

And  D  coldcocked Buddy on his  A  follow  D  through

The  G  big man crumbled but he felt  A  all  Bm  right

'Cause the  D  last thing he saw was the  A  flashing red  G  light

He  G  saw that heavenly  A  light

There were  D  Swedes  A  to the  G  left of him

 D  Russians  A  to the  G  right

A  D  Czech  A  at the  G  blue line  Bm  looking for a  A  fight

Take  G  care of your teeth-that  D  might work for  Bm  you

But  G  what's a  D  Canadian  A  farm boy to  D  do?

What  G  else can a  D  farm boy from  A  Canada  D  do?

But  G  what's a  D  Canadian  A  farm boy to  D  do?
