[Intro] Em  D/F#  G  C  G

[Primeira Parte]

    Em      D/F#       G
The howling moon would cry
    C              G
I'd sleep the sun away
Em    D/F#   G
I was just a child
  C           G
I knew I was afraid
Em         D/F#       G
 There was nothin' to gain, I found
   C                 G
By runnin' the other way
Em  D/F#   G
  I had to stand my ground
    C                   G    
And keep the wolves at bay

( C  D  Em  G )

[Refrão]

      C            D  Em  G
But I knew somehow
            C          D  Em  G
There would come a day
     C               D  Em
So I stood my ground
G                  C
Kept the wolves at bay

( Em  D/F#  G  C  G  )

[Segunda Parte]

Em        D/F#    G
Would not take no more
C        G
  Had my fill
Em        D/F#  G
Stars had faded from my eyes
    C                   G
And run from looks that kill
Em        D/F#   G
There was no one comin' around
   C                G
To save me from the fray
Em D/F#   G
 I had to stand my ground
    C                  G    
And keep the wolves at bay

( C  D  Em  G )

[Refrão]

      C            D  Em  G
But I knew somehow
            C          D  Em  G
There would come a day
       C               D  Em
When I stood my ground
G                  C   D  Em  G
Kept the wolves at bay
      C            D  Em   G
But I knew somehow
            C          D  Em  G
There would come a day
     C               D  Em
So I stood my ground
G                  C
Kept the wolves at bay

[Terceira Parte]

Em    D/F#      G
Years have gone by
    C               G
The callin' carries on
Em     D/F#    G
Scars above my eye
    C             G
Are tender to the bone
Em          D/F#    G
 And though I've settled down
  C                 G
I hear the children say
Em   D/F#    G
 You have to stand your ground
    Em       D/F#      G   
And keep the wolves at bay

(  C  D  Em  G )

[Refrão]

        C            D  Em  G
Well, I knew somehow
            C            D  Em  G
There would come the day
       C               D  Em
When I stood my ground
G                  C   D  Em  G
Kept the wolves at bay
        C            D  Em   G
Well, I knew somehow
            C            D  Em   G
There would come the day
     C               D  Em
So I stood my ground
G                  C
Kept the wolves at bay
