(Capo 1st fret)

     G              C
It's funny how they shoot you down
          G                 C
When your hands are held up high
        G            C
And you open up your heart and soul
    G                     C
But that's not enough for most
Em
I remember this much
         D
There is nothing
              D/C
You shouldn't speak of
   D/B                     D/A
If you've got something to say
            D
And there's no one
      D/C
To be scared of
     D/B                 D/A
Just get them out of the way

G              C        D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
G                C
My heart is open wide
        G                          D*
You can take anything that you want from me
         Am              D
there is nothing left to hide

G              C        D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
G                    C
my hands are held up high
    D*              Am
I'm learning how to hit back
    D7              G     C
I'm learning how to fight

G C (repeat)

    G          C
The law of the jungle says
    G              C
You look after yourself
    G               C
But I remember this much
  G                       C
I love as I've been loved myself
D
Don't forget what I told you now
         D/B               D/C
When the question keeps on coming
         D/A
And it's How much more can you take
D                                   D/B
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
          D/C            D/A
Shouldn't you be gone by now
But you keep on

G              C        D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
G                           C
Setting your sights for the sky
G                      D*
They can offer you anything at all
Am                          D
But your dreams must not be sold
G              C        D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
G                C
No price is high enough
D*                     Am
I'm fighting back with feeling
D7                     G
I'm fighting back with love

Bm                 C
When the nails are biting into your hands
Bm               C             Bm
And the cross is heavy on your heart
           C                           D
Now is the time to really make a stand

MY HANDS ARE HELD UP HIGH

(instrumental)

G              C        D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
(repeat)
