Will The Wolf Survive

Waylon Jennings


Tom: E

         B
        Through the chill of winter

        Running across a frozen lake

        Hunters hard right on his trail

        All odds are against him
                  A          E
        With a family to provide for
                  A            B
        But one thing he must keep alive
                          E     A
        Will the wolf survive?
                          E
        Will the wolf survive?


Verse 2:
          B
        Drifting by the roadside

        Climbs a strong and aging face

        Wants to make some honest pay

        Losing to the rainstorm
                  A                   E
        He's got two strong legs to guide him
               A              B
        Two strong arms keep him alive
                          E
        Will the wolf survive?


Bridge:
          E               A      E
        Standing in the pouring rain
                         A            E
        All alone in a world that's changed
          A                   D       A
        Running scared now forced to hide
              E                   A          E
        In a land where he once stood with pride
                   B                   A
        But he'll find his way by the morning light


Verse 3:
         B
        Sounds across the nation

        Coming from your hearts and minds

        Battered drums and old guitars

        Singing songs of passion
                   A                   E
        It's the truth that they all look for
          A                   B
        Something they must keep alive
                          E     A
        Will the wolf survive?
                          E     A
        Will the wolf survive?

                          B
        Will the wolf survive?
