Verse 1
AmG
Rising up, back on the street
AmF
Did my time, took my chances
AmG
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
FAm
Just a man and his will to survive
Chorus
AmFG
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
AmFG
Rising up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
FGAm
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Verse 2

Face to face, out in the heat

Hanging tough, staying hungry

They stack the odds, still we take to the street
