But he stronger than a country hoss
             B7                  A7
And when the bad folks all get together at night
              B7                    A7       E    E6 E7
You know they all call big Jim Boss,  just because

You don't tug on Superman's cape
          A7                E7
You don't spit into the wind
          A7
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
        B7    A7                  E
And you don't mess around with Jim
           E6           E7   E6      B7
Badoom doohdoohdahdah dididi didi dee

You don't spit into the wind
          A7
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
        B7    A7                  E

The only part that wasn't bloody
        E            E6             E7   E6
Was the soles of the big man's feet,  ooh
           A                         A7
And he was cut in about a hundred places
           A                    A7
And he was shot in a couple more
        B7
And you better believe
            A7
They sung a different kind of story
     B7                    A7            E E6 E7        E6          A7                
When big Jim hit the floor,  oh oh oh oh,       they say  You don't tug on Superman's 
E7
cape

[Chorus (3)]
