[C#] _ _ _ _ So many miles to feed on a farm, _ [G#m] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ Sonny was the second to the last one born. _ _ _
_ [F#] _ [C#m] _ [C#] _ Mama ran away and his daddy beat him bad.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C#] And he grew up wild with a love he never had.
He had a left like a hairy sammer, _ _ a right like Benny Bimmer.
_ _ Oh, with the muggers and the darkened dredge, all [Gm] them sluggers [F#] went [C#] down like that. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, he hung with the hoods, he wouldn't stroke a fan. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Woody _ dynamite in both his _ hands. _ _ _
[F#m] _ [C#m] _ _ [C#] _ Boom, bam, like a slamming door. _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ [C#m] _ _ [C#] The bell and the cannon, the bodies on the floor, beware. _ _
The bears in town, some barge along, they said the bears going, _ yeah. _
The bear never smiled, Sonny going down [A#] four miles [C#] from now.
_ Sonny going a mile from now. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ [C#m] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, the writers didn't like him, he'd fight pain and charge. _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ [C#m] _ [C#] He had his low life back, he said his hands are like rocks. _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [C#] He didn't want to have a golden man. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ They didn't like him, daddy didn't [C#m] like [F#] him.
Black cattle died, _ [C#] alligator poop, money in the pockets of a shark skin seal.
_ Some say [C#m] the bear took a flop, they [C#] couldn't believe it.
Saw him drop, he had a left like a hairy sammer, _ a right like Benny Bimmer.
_ _ _ Oh, with the muggers and the darkened dredge, all them [G] sluggers went [C#m] down like [C#] that. _ _ _ _

_ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ Joe Louis was his hero, he tried to be the same. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ For the criminal child, always a bomb in his hand. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Civil rights people didn't want him on the throne. _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ [C#m] _ [C#] And the accident cops didn't leave him alone. _ _ _ _
The bears in town, some barge along, they said the bears going, _ yeah. _
The bear never smiled, Sonny going down [A#m] four miles [C#] from now. _ _ _ _

_ _ At the foot of his bed, with his feet on the floor. _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ He was [C#] dope in his vase and a pistol on his arm. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ No one knows _ investigation is such. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ He hated me, he was studying YouTube, [C#m] _ _ [F#] Chris, _ all his [B] bad.
_ [C#] Scars from the daddy like a slavery cup.
He said, can I have a beer?
The last [C#m] child was the second last king.
[C#] Never again was it the same in the ring.
He had a left like a hairy sammer, _ a right like Benny Bimmer.
_ _ Oh, with the muggers and the darkened dredge, all them [G] sluggers went [C#m] down.

_ [C#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ motherless child or a goon. _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] Nobody could be sure about the day he died.
_ [G#m] _ _ [C#] _
[F#m] _ [C#m] _ _ [C#] The bear was the king and he cast his eyes on the moon. _ _
