F (D) 
I was raised out of steel here in the swamps of Jersey 
Bb (G) 
Some misty years ago 
            Dm (Bm) 
Through the mud and the beer, and the blood and the cheers 
         Bb (G) 
I've seen champions come and go 
F (D)                            Bb (G) 
So, if you got the guts mister and if you've got the balls 
       Dm (Bm)                                       
If you think it's your time, then step to the line 
Bb (G) 
And bring on your wrecking ball 

                     F (D) 
Bring on your wrecking ball 
                     Bb (G) 
Bring on your wrecking ball 
                        Dm (Bm)                      C (A) 
Come on and take your best shot, let me see what you've got 
                        Bb (G) 
And bring on your wrecking ball 
                       F (D) 
Bring on your wrecking ball 
                       Bb (G) 
Bring on your wrecking ball 
                         Dm (Bm)                      C (A) 
Come on and take your best shot, let me see what you've got 
                         F (D) 
Bring on your wrecking ball 


One, two, one two three four!
