Hit Somebody Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

He was Dborn in Big Beaver by the Bmborderline

He Gstarted playing Dhockey by the Atime he was nine

His Ddad took the hose and froze the back Gyard

And DLittle Buddy dreamed he was ARocket RiDchard

He Ggrew up big and he grew Aup Bmtough

He Dsaw himself scoring for the AWings or CaBmnucks

But he Gwasn't that Agood with a Dpuck

Buddy's real talent was beating people up

His heart wasn't in it but the crowd ate it up

Through pee-wee's and juniors, midgets and mites

He must have racked up more than six hundred fights

A scout from the flames came down from Saskatoon

Said, "There's always room on our team for a goon

Son, we've Galways got room for a Agoon"

Chorus

There were DSwedes Ato the Bmleft of him

DRussians Ato the Bmright

A DCzech Aat the Bmblue line Glooking for a Afight

GBrains over Dbrawn-that Bmmight work for Eyou

But Gwhat's a CaDnadian Afarm boy to Bmdo

What Gelse can a Dfarm boy from ACanada Ddo

But Gwhat's a CaDnadian Afarm boy to Bmdo

What Gelse can a Dfarm boy from ACanada Ddo

Hit somebody! was what the crowd roared

When Buddy the goon came over the boards

"Coach," he'd say, "I wanna score goals"

The coach said, "Buddy, remember your role

The fast guys get paid, they shoot, they score

Protect them, Buddy, that's what you're here for

DProtection is what you're here for

GProtection-it's the stars that score

DProtection-kick somebody's ass

GProtection-don't put the biscuit in the basket just

Hit some, Buddy! it rang in his ears

Blood on the ice ran down through the years

The king of the goons with a box for a throne

A thousand stitches and broken bones

He never lost a fight on his icy patrol

But deep inside, Buddy only dreamed of a goal

He Gjust wanted one damn Agoal

Chorus

There were Swedes at the the blue line

Finns at the red

A Russian with a stick heading straight for his head

Brains over brawn-that might work for you

But what's a Canadian farm boy to do

What else can a farm boy from Canada do

But what's a Canadian farm boy to do

What Gelse can a Dfarm boy from ACanada Bmdo

In his Gfinal Dseason, on his Afinal night

GBuddy and a DFinn goon were Apegged for a fight

GThirty seconds lEmeft, the F♯pucAk took a Bmroll

And sGuddenly Buddy had a Ashot on Bmgoal

The goalie committed, Buddy picked his spot

Twenty years of waiting went into that shot

The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped too

And coldcocked Buddy on his follow through

The big man crumbled but he felt all right

'Cause the last thing he saw

was the flashing red light

He saw that heavenly light

Chorus

There were Swedes to the left of him

Russians to the right

A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight

Take care of your teeth-that might work for you

But what's a Canadian farm boy to do

What else can a farm boy from Canada do

But what's a Canadian farm boy to do

What else can a farm boy from Canada do

But what's a Canadian farm boy to do

What else can a farm boy from Canada do
