I WON’T BACK DOWN
Tom
Petty
For the Johnny Cash version, put a
capo on 2.
Well I [Em] won't [D] back
[G] down,
No I [Em] won't [D] back [G] down
You can [Em] stand me up at the [D] gates of [C] hell
But I [Em] won't [D] back [G] down
Gonna [Em] stand [D] my [G] ground,
Won't be [Em] turned [D] a-[G]-round
And I'll [Em] keep this world from [D] draggin' me [C] down
Gonna [Em] stand [D] my [G] ground
And [Em] I won't [D] back [G] down
[C] Hey [D] baby, there [C] ain't no easy way [D]
out
[C] Hey, [D] I will [Em] stand [D] my [G] ground
And I [Em] won't [D] back
[G] down
Well I [Em] know [D] what's
[G] right I got [Em] just [D] one [G] life
In a [Em] world that keeps on pushin' [D] me
a-[C]-round
But I'll [Em] stand [D] my [G] ground
And I [Em] won't [D] back
[G] down
[C] Hey [D] baby, there [C] ain't no easy way [D]
out
[C] Hey, [D] I will [Em] stand [D] my [G] ground
And I [Em] won't [D] back
[G] down
No I won't back down
