[D] Have you heard about the big strong man?
He lives in a [A] caravan
Have you heard about the Geoffrey Jones fight?
Oh, what a hell of [D] a fight
You can take all the heavy weight you got We got a lad who can beat [A] the whole lot
He used to ring the bells and the bells free Now he's gonna fight [D] Jack Dempsey was me brother
Still best of what you got Are low party [A] medals on the shelves
Big chest, he killed 50 badmen in the West He [D] knows no rest
Picket a man, house [G] fire, don't push Just shove plenty of room for you [D] and me
He's got an arm like an egg And a punch that [A] will sink a battleship
It takes all the army and the navy To bump the wind up [D] Sylvester
Well, he thought he'd take a trip to Italy He thought that he'd go [A] by sea
He jumped off the harbour in New York And he swam like a man [D] made of cork
He saw the Lusitania in distress He put the Lusitania [A] on his chest
He drank all the water in the sea He walked all the [D] way to Italy
That was me brother Still best of what you got
Are low party [A] medals on the shelves Big chest, he killed 50 badmen in the West
He [D] knows no rest Picket a man, house fire, don't push
Just shove plenty of room for you and me He's got an arm like an egg
And [A] a punch that will sink a battleship It takes all the army and the navy
To bump the wind up [D] Sylvester
Well, he thought he'd take a trip to old Japan They turned out a whole [A] brass band
He played every instrument they got Like a lad, sure he beat [D] the whole lot
Now the old church bells will ring The old church [A] choir will sing
They all turned out to say farewell To my big [D] brother Sylvester
That was me brother Still best of what you got
Are low party [A] medals on the shelves Big chest, he killed 50 badmen in the West
He [D] knows no rest Picket a man, house [Bm] fire, don't push
