[Verse 1]
Bbm
I hear a bell ringing like a funeral tune
I'm heading for the camels gonna be there soon
Ebm
My brain says no but my knees don't work
Bbm
There's a pain where my body was but it don't hurt
Fm Bbm
'cause today's the day that I meet Muhammad Ali
Bbm
I was pinned in the corner, gonna fight my way out
There's some fool shouting: 'come on, run about!'
Ebm
There's a voice in my head, saying: 'get out and fight'
Bbm
There's a feeling in my heart, saying: 'this ain't right'
Fm Bbm
'cause today's the day that I meet Muhammad Ali

[Verse 2]
Bbm
I'm begging for someone to come and throw in the towel
If I'm not mistaken I heard a gorilla growl
Ebm
The floor's getting higher I think I better climb
Bbm
Three minutes rounds are such a long time
Fm Bbm
'cause today's the day that I meet Muhammad Ali
[Chorus, 2x]
Ebm
Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Ebm Ab Db Bbm
Today is the day I meet Muhammad A- li

[Verse 3]
N.C.
With the help of rubber robes, well I'm running rings
N.C.
I just hope if I keep moving he can hit other things
N.C.
I'm sure I've never seen anyone this tall
N.C.
And I'm damnright certain I was never this small
Fm Bbm
'cause today's the day that I meet Muhammad Ali
[Verse 4]
Bbm
I'm gonna hold on tight, I'm gonna never let go
I go everywhere he goes, yeah I'll be lying real low
Ebm
The blood on the ground, well is that really mine?
Bbm
Don't worry about me, yeah I'm doing fine
Fm Bbm
'cause today's the day that I meet Muhammad Ali
[Chorus, 4x]

Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee
