After 16 long rounds and 3 missing teeth He fell like a tree to the ground CHORUS His fists were bruised and swollen His nose was broken and scarred With a twitch in his eye and dried blood on his lips His body slumped over the bar At the pub down the street where the townspeople meet Matt Delaney worked at the door But he stopped workin' there when he started to fight Now he works at a desk on the docks ---- chords: (A) - G D G G7 | C G D | C G D Em | C D G (B) - G D G G7 | C G D | C G D A | C D G
