Ab
If you see me walkin' down the street, better get out my way.
I'm a real king-hitter, always have my say.
If you're lookin' for a heavy time, best you don't come around.
Or else you'll get your heavy six feet of solid ground.
C# D
I don't like touble but if troubles the name of your game.
Eb
You know where you can find me boy, everybody knows my name.
E F# Ab
I'm the black eyed, the black eyed, the black eyed bruiser.
Ab
I used to be a peaceful man of flowers and love.
I believed in my soul and the good lord above.
But I was forced to change my tune, my candles and grace.
By the power of the dollar and the kicks in the face.
C# D
There ain't no peace in this world, that's a fact, take a good look around.
Eb
So I'm gonna stand here and fight, ain't nobody putting me down.
E F# Ab
They call me the black eyed, the black eyed, black eyed bruiser.

They call me a black eyed, black eyed, they call me the black eyed bruiser.
etc.
I have used barre chords for this basic rythym version of this classic
Oz Rock song. The Ab is quickly released and/or slid down to the F#
for the majority of the verses.
