Intro: Am F C
Verse
C Am F
He was almost blind
They say it happens when you've been punched to many times
His hands were stone
He was a bare-knuckle champion in an earlier life
It was hard not to stare
At his busted up nose and cauliflower ears
And he'd smile at me
And say the toughest fighters have their souvenirs
[Refrão] F
How to carry on
When the hardest punch is thrown
F C
And take away the burden from our shoulders
Verse
He lived next door
He'd sometimes get with my father and talk about life
And sit on the porch
Drinkin' beer and remembering happier times
And I was a child
And I was far too young to ever understand
What it meant to have a son
Who'd been drafted and killed in Vietnam
[Refrão]F
How to carry on
When the hardest punch is thrown
F C
And take away the burden from our shoulders
Verse
My father and I
Tried to keep him company so his mind could rest
On Saturday nights
We'd huddle 'round a black and white TV set
And we all stood and cheered
When Ali knocked out Foreman that night in Zaire
And later that night
My father held his hand as he broke down and cried
[Refrão]F
How to carry on
When the hardest punch is thrown
F C
And take away the burden from our shoulders
Verse
And there stands a wall
In the clearing across from the national mall
It's crowded with names
Of the thousands of children that never came home
I stood in the rain
Watching dozens of mourners stumbling by
When I saw his name
I felt the ghost of our fathers kneeling at my side
