I Wont Go Down

G C G Em C G

[Verse]
G             C                  
Silver dagger lightning slashed 
   G
the sky
    Em                 C     
Its Crooked tongue was telling 
          G
crooked lies
G                      C   
Blood flowed down in a bitter 
           Em
driving rain
     G              C             
As I stand upon the sand I feel 
  G
the pain

G            C               G
Savage ocean pounded patient shore
       Em            C            
Like a jealous lover trying to 
  G
feel secure
        G                  C   
But the sand withstands it don't 
        Em
admit defeat
           G                C     
And on the turning tide the angry 
      G
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                  
Demon wind was howling threats and 
 G
hate
Continues after the ad
     Em              C            
It's salty spray was spitting in 
  G
my face
G                 C             Em
Without something firm to stand upon
       G               C          
I'd be here one minute and the 
     G
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               
The dying sun was all but laid to 
G
rest
            Em              C     
But for the remnant of some 
          G
gunfight in the west
G               C            Em
Goodbye's never easy don't I know
          G               C       
But these fingernails are finally 
        G
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        
Is growing silent as the fury 
  G
rolls away
G                  C             
Shooting stars are dancing up on 
Em
high
            G                C    
They ask me "May I have this dance
           G
 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
