Big Strong Man chords
Start Jamming...
[F#] Have [D] you heard about the big slum man?
Riding a limousine [A] and caravan
Have you heard about the cabby Jones fight?
Oh what a hell [D] of a fight
You can take all the heavy stuff
We got a lot, we can [A] beat the whole lot
Well he used to ring the bell
And the bell's ringing now
Who's gonna fight?
[D] Jack Dancy was big brother
Sylvester was the guy
A real party man was on [A] his chest
Killed 50 by a little burst
He knows no [D] rust
Think of the man who knows fire
Don't push your show
Play it for you and me
He's got an arm, got an arm
Ladies and gentlemen
What's not to sing [A] about?
The big ship
Takes all the army and the navy
About to win [D] the Sylvester
Well he's gonna take a picture with the D
That's when he's [A] going by C
He's got the armour in the arm
And it's fun like a man [D] made of cork
He's gonna take in the sweat
What he do?
He's gonna [A] take on the big chest
Black on the water and the sea
He walked all the [D] way to Italy
That was big brother Sylvester
What's he got?
A real party man [A] was on his chest
Killed 50 by a little burst
He knows [D] no rust
Think of the man who knows fire
Don't push your show
Play it for you and me
He's got an arm, got an arm
Ladies and gentlemen
What's not [A] to sing about?
The big ship
Takes all the army and the navy
About to win the [D] Sylvester
Well he's gonna take a picture with the D
[A] That's when he's going by C

He's [D] gonna take in the sweat
Takes all the army and the navy

[A] What's not to sing about?
The big ship
Takes all the army and the navy
About to win the Sylvester
