cpw@giga.com.pl Lyr Req: Big Strong Man / Sylveste (7) RE: Lyric request: Big strong man 22 Nov 96


Hi Jonathan,

You haven't transfer your e-mail address, so I put the guitar chords here (the way we do it). As in most of popular Irish songs, they aren't very complicated:

============================

Big Strong Man (Sylvest)

D7 G D

Have you heard about the big strong man; He lived in a caravan

D D7 G

Have you heard about the Jeffrey Johnston fight; Oh what a hell of a fight

G D

You can take all the heavy weights you got; We gotta lad who will beat the whole lot

D G

He used to ring the bells in the belfry; Now he's gonna fight Jack Dempsey.

----------------

Chorus:

G D

Was me brother Sylvest; What's he got a row of forty medals on his chest

D G

He killed fifty bad men in the West; He knew no rest

G

Think of the man; hell's fire; don't push; just shove; Plenty of room; For you and me.

G G

Got an arm like a leg and a punch that would sink a battle ship; big ship;

G D G

Takes all the army and the navy to put the wind up Sylvest.
