Lyrics

Ris in’ up,

(Ab)back on the street,

did my time, took my (Cm)chan ces.

Went the dist ance now I’m (Ab)back on my feet.

Just a (Bb)man and his will to sur vive.

So man y times it (Ab)hap pens too fast,

You trade your pas sion for glo ry.

Don’t lose your grip on the (Ab)dreams of the past, You must (Bb)fight just to keep them a live

(Bb)It’s (Cm7)the eye of the tig er, it’s the (Eb)thrill of the fight, ris (Cm7)ing (Fm)up to the chal lenge of our (Cm7)riv al.

(Bb)And (Cm7)the (Fm)last known sur vi vor stalks his (Eb)prey in the night, and (Cm7)he’s (Fm)watch ing us (Eb)all with the (Ab)eye

(CN.C.)of the (Cm)tig er.

Face to face

(Ab)out in the heat.

Hang in’ tough, stay in’ (Cm)hun gry.

They stack the odds still we (Ab)take to the street for the kill, with the skill to sur vive.

(Bb)It’s (Cm7)the eye of the tig er, it’s the (Eb)thrill of the fight, ris (Cm7)ing (Fm)up to the chal lenge of our (Cm7)riv al.

(Bb)And (Cm7)the (Fm)last known sur vi vor stalks his (Eb)prey in the night, and (Cm7)he’s (Fm)watch ing us (Eb)all with the (Ab)eye

(CN.C.)of the (Cm)tig er.

Face to face

(Ab)out in the heat.

Hang in’ tough, stay in’ (Cm)hun gry.

They stack the odds still we (Ab)take to the street for the kill, with the skill to sur vive.

(Bb)It’s (Cm7)the (Cm)tig er.

Ri sin’ up,

(Ab)straight to the top.

Had the guts, got the (Cm)glo ry,

Went the di stance, now I’m (Ab)not gon na stop, just a man with his will to sur vive.

(Bb)It’s (Cm7)the (Fm)watch ing us (Eb)all with the (Ab)eye

of the (Cm)tig er.

The eye of the tig (CN.C.)er.

The eye of the tig (CN.C.)er.
