No capo
Starts with
AA  A   A   A  
Subsequent chords are syncopated (off beat)
For ease, I've ignored the syncopation when it falls to matching the chords to the appropriate words
(for example the C#m and A fall on 'met' and 'and' instead of 'first' and 'black', respectively),so 
match it up as you like!
AI remember when I C#mfirst met you
DYou left me Ablack and blue
EKTFO
On the Dfloo-o-o-orA  
AAnd when you had me C#mon my back,
DNearly gave me a Aheart attack
EOut for the count
On the Dro-o-o-opeAs
BmAnd when she got me seeing stars
F#mShe takes my poor head in her arm
BmLet me give you some good advice
GI've told you once, I've told you twice
She said you gotta Aro-Eo-A6add4o-oll
With the pDunches my frAiend
Stay with Eme to the AendD  
ARo-oEo-oDo-oll
With the pDunches againA  
No I Ecannot defFendG  
It's a knockout aAgain
AAnd when she really C#mgonna hit on me
Floats likDe a butterflAy, stings like a bee
EDon't hit too low
DaddiooDo (iooo)A  
AGo hard or go home sC#mhe said
KnoDck you out and go baAck to bed
EWBF
DWBOA  
BmAnd every night it's do or die
F#mBut I am punch drunk by her side
BmToe to toe, pound for pound,
GShe's the toughest girl in town
She said you gotta Aro-Eo-A6add4oll
With the pDunches my frAiend
EStay with me to the AenDd
ARo-Eo-o-Doll
With the pDunches againA  
No I Ecannot deFfendG  
From round 1 to round F10G  
It's a Dknockout aAgain
Dm/AWhen you're down and you're Gon your back
CSeeing stars all Amaround
Dm/AFrom the corner there E7comes the towel
Dm/AHear words they are Eall around
AI remember when I C#mfirst met you
