Intro: C, Gadd11, C, F, Am, Gadd11, C (x2)

First Verse: 

        C         Gadd11 
We were raised by wolves 
   C              F 
And we are still wild 
                    Am             Gadd11 
And we howl when the troubled wind blows 

           C         Gadd11 
And in the TV's blue light 
    C              F 
Oh, assassins will lie 
           Am      Gadd11 
If we just go down slow 

Chorus:
