The comeback (sample)

D ~

D A

1. I was the world’s champion lover to my baby,

A7 D

undefeated, and I treated baby right,

A

I won every easy round against temptation,

A7 D

and I went right home to baby every night.

G D G

Then I met an old flame that I used to train with,

D A

she gave me knock-out kisses to the mouth.

D D7 G

When baby learned there'd been a main event in secret,

A A7 D

oh, she counted ten and throwed old champion out.

- - - - - - - - - G D - G D

But I'll make a comeback, comeback, this ain't the end,

G D - G D

this has-been champ will be a champion again.

- - - - D A

2. I was punch-drunk to cheat and lose my baby,

A7 D

for the second time, they're twice as hard to catch,

A

that's why I'm in training now to ask forgiveness,

A7 D

getting in condition for my greatest match.

G D G

I'm defending my claim to the title,

D A

I just can't lose, I've got too much to win,

D D7 G

and when I'm sure all the low blows are over,

A A7 D

she'll say, “Champ take off those gloves, and come on in !”

- - - - - - - - G D - G D

That'll be my comeback, comeback, she'll kiss me and then

G D - G D

this has-been champ will be a champion again.

- - - - - - - - G D - G D

That'll be my comeback, comeback, she'll kiss me and then

G D - G D

this has-been champ will be a champion again.
