His (G) heart wasn't (D) in it but the (A) crowd ate it up
(D) Through pee-wees and juniors, midgets and (G) mites
(D) He must have racked up more than (A) three hundred (D) fights

(Repeat intro twice over this section:)
Protection is what you're here for
Protection-it's the stars that score
Protection-kick somebody's ass
Protection-don't put the biscuit in the basket just

(D) The king of the goons with a box for a (G) throne
A (D) thousand stitches and (A) broken (D) bones

The (D) goalie committed, Buddy (Bm) picked his spot
(G) Twenty years of (D) waiting went (A) into that shot
(D) The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped (G) too
And (D) coldcocked Buddy on his (A) follow (D) through
The (G) big man crumbled but he felt (A) all (Bm) right
'Cause the (D) last thing he saw was the (A) flashing red (G) light
He (G) saw that heavenly (A) light
There were (D) Swedes (A) to the (G) left of him
(D) Russians (A) to the (G) right
A (D) Czech (A) at the (G) blue line (Bm) looking for a (A) fight
Take (G) care of your teeth-that (D) might work for (Bm) you
But (G) what's a (D) Canadian (A) farm boy to (D) do?
What (G) else can a (D) farm boy from (A) Canada (D) do?
