Tom: G
G C G Em C G
[Verse]
G C G
Silver dagger lightning slashed the sky
Em C G
Its Crooked tongue was telling crooked lies
G C Em
Blood flowed down in a bitter driving rain
G C G
As I stand upon the sand I feel the pain
G C G
Savage ocean pounded patient shore
Em C G
Like a jealous lover trying to feel secure
G C Em
But the sand withstands it don't admit defeat
G C G
And on the turning tide the angry waves retreat
[Chorus]
D
I won't go down
Em
I won't go down
D Dsus2 Em
I won't go do..ow...own
[Verse]
G C G
Demon wind was howling threats and hate
Em C G
It's salty spray was spitting in my face
G C Em
Without something firm to stand upon
G C G
I'd be here one minute and the next be gone
[Chorus]
D
I won't go down
Em
I won't go down
D Dsus2 Em
I won't go do..ow...own
[Bridge]
D Em
Storm as big as a mountain range
D Em
Coming down - heavy, strange
C G
I perish Lord you know I will
D
A voice it whispers
Em
"Peace, be still"
[Verse]
G C G
The dying sun was all but laid to rest
Em C G
But for the remnant of some gunfight in the west
G C Em
Goodbye's never easy don't I know
G C G
But these fingernails are finally letting go
D
I won't go down
Em
I won't go down
D Dsus2
I won't go do..own
Em
Without a fight
G C G
Fading distant fireworks display
Em C G
Is growing silent as the fury rolls away
G C Em
Shooting stars are dancing up on high
G C G
They ask me "May I have this dance before we die?"
D
I won't go down
Em
I won't go down
D Dsus2
I won't go do..own
Em
Without a fight
