    Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
             F#m     E          D
    You can stand me up at the gates of hell
          F#m    E    A
    But I won't back down


           F#m  E   A                F#m   E   A
    Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
             F#m        E           D
    And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
           F#m  E   A           F#m    E    A
    Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

    Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
     D   E       F#m  E    A          F#m    E    A
    Hey, I will stand my ground and I won't back down


    Well I know what's right I got just one life
    In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
    But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

    Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
    Hey, I will stand my ground and I won't back down
    And I won't back down
                     A --- END DEAD ON THIS CHORD
    No I won't back down
