The Underdog

	  		*Note-dashes in between chords (ie A-D) just means go from one 
to the other quickly, one strum each 
 
Intro: A  D-A  E  A-D  A  D-A  E  (x2) 
 
A                  D               A  D-A  E  A-D  
I wake up just to work hard every day 
A                 D            A            E 
Nothin' free and nothin' easy ever comes my way 
A                        D 
Hands are calloused, my body is bruised 
F#m                    D 
I won't give up and I will not lose 
D              A             D                      E 
Just when you count me out, that's when I'll come through...I'm  

    F#m     D 
The underdog  
     A                      E 
The one whose back stays against the wall 
    F#m     D 
The underdog 
      A                          E 
I'll still be standin' when the favorite falls 
        F#m               D 
So they say I'm not that strong 
        F#m               D 
And the odds are way too long 
           F#m            E     D              A   D-A  E  A-D  A  D-A  E  
Well I was born to prove them wrong, I'm the underdog
 
 
 
    A                       D                  A  D-A  E  A-D  
My baby's the best lookin' thing to hit this town 
        A                 D                A                   E 
She believes in me even though her folks don't want me comin 'round 
A                 D 
They got bigger plans for her than me 
F#m                   D 
I've got somethin' inside they can't see 
D              A                     D              E 
But someday I swear they will, cause I won't always be, ohh 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
        E                                 D 
I know every verse and every word of 1st Samuel 17 
E                                   D                       A 
I love it when that big ol' boy's brought down to his knees 
        F#m                                D                  A 
And it sometimes seems that all my dreams are over nine feet tall 
             D                 A 
And I'm the little man with a rock in his hand 
E 
Just like David in overalls... I'm 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
                    A  D-A  E  A-D  A          D-A       E           
Oh, I'm the underdog.................don't you count me out
