C
The hulk of a man with a beer in is hand
G
Looked like a drunk old fool
C
Why I could knock him off-a that stool
F
Hey, that's Tiger Man McCool
G
He's had a whole lot of fights
C
And he's always come out a winner
G C
Yea!, he's a winner.
C
But I'd had myself about five too many
G
And I walked up tall and proud
C
That he had never stooped or bowed
F
And a hush fell on the crowd
G
I said let's you and me go outside and see
C
Who's a winner.
C
Well, he gripped the bar with one big hairy hand
G
And he braced against the wall
C
My God, that man was tall
F
So just before you fall
G
I'm gonna tell you just a little
C
'Bout what it means to be a winner.
C
He said Now you see these bright white smiling teeth
G
You know they ain't my own
C
Down the street in San Antone
F
Nursin' seven broken bones
G
And he, uh, only broke, uh, three of mine
C
That makes me the winner.
C
He said Now behind this grin, I got steel pins
G
That holds my jaw in place
C
Motorcycle race
F
This scar across my face
G
It reminds me of all I got
C
by being a winner.
C
Now this broken back was a dying act
G
Of a handsome Harry Clay
C
I stole his wife away
F
And she gets meaner every day
G
But I got her, boy
C
that's what makes me a winner
D
He said You gotta speak loud when you challenge me son
A
'Cause it's hard for me to hear
D
And this big old cauliflower ear
