Full Song
Verse 1
Am G
Rising up, back on the street
Am F
Did my time, took my chances
Am G
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
F Am
Just a man and his will to survive
Chorus
Am F G
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Am F G
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
Am F G
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
F G Am
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Verse 2
Am G
Face to face, out in the heat
Am F
Hanging tough, staying hungry
Am G
They stack the odds, still we take to the street
F Am
For the kill with the skill to survive
