Chords for Marc Almond - Champ

[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Eb] [Cm] Way back then I [C] was a champion, a fighter in the ring
[G]
And all the crowds would cheer, my [Cm] praises they [C] would sing
_ [Cm] Now I am a forgotten man, a [C] hobo
No [G] _ _
champ to push me on, [Cm] _ nothing, [C] no one to call my [Cm] own

_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Cm] _ _ I was a dark eyed boy, stars in his eyes
Promises made, flesh [G] and blood, grip of almond, granite charm
[Cm] Oh times were golden, times were good, sinew young and skin of ore
_ Molten and streaming [G] were dreams, now I nod away the day
[Cm] _ Barely remembering things it seems _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _

_ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] Oh [Cm] I would smile to hear the bell, ringing [C] out my [G] glory
Like a bull I paced the ring, [Cm] my bloody territory _
I held on high the fist and glove, the symbol of my power
[G] _ Now I wait a punch drunk fool, [Cm] to fade away forever _
Broken _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ noses, [D] broken [Cm] jaws, many [D] broken hearts
[Cm] An idol [D] and a hero, till [Cm] my courage fell [D] apart
[Cm] Now my brain [D] ringing, [Cm] with the final [D] valant count
[Cm] They held my [D] arm up limply, told [Cm] the world that I was [D] out
[Cm] I didn't mind [D] the scars, the blood, [Cm] the crushing [D] of the hand
[Cm] Let's lose the [D] nation's love, [Cm] respect is something I'll [D] never _ [Cm] understand
_ [D] _ _
_ [Cm] Something [D] I'll never _ [Cm] _
understand
[D] _ _ [Cm] What's [D] something I'll never _ [Cm] _ _ [D] understand
