Verse:
In this proud land we grew up strong
DOm SIb/DO DOm
We were wanted all along
SIb/RE MIb SOL#/MIb MIb
I was taught to fight, taught to win
SIb MIb/SIb SIb
I never thought I could fail
DOm SIb/DO DOm
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Chorus
Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
SOL#/FA MIb/SOL DOm7/SOL#
Don't give up - you're not beaten yet
SOL#/FA MIb/SOL DOm/SOL#
Don't give up - I know you can make it good
SOL#/FA MIb/SOL SOL# SIb
[verse]
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
chorus
don't give up - you still have us
don't give up - we don't need much of anything
don't give up - 'cos somewhere there's a place where we belong
SOL# SIm MIb SOL#/MIb-Eb
Bridge:
Rest your head
SIb MIb/SIb-Bb
You worry too much
MIb SOL#/MIb-Eb
It's going to be alright
SIb MIb/SIb SIb
When times get rough, you can fall back on us,
MIb SOL# MIb
Don't give up, please don't give up
MIb SIb MIb SOL#/MIb-Eb
Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore
MIb SIb
Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below
MIb SOL#
Whatever may come and whatever may go,
MIb SIb
That river's flowing, that river's flowing
MIb SIb MIb SOL#/MIb-Eb
[verse]
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
chorus
Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
Don't give up - you're not the only one
Don't give up - no reason to be ashamed
Don't give up - you still have us
Don't give up now - we're proud of who you are
Don't give up - you know it's never been easy
Don't give up - 'cos I believe there's a place
SOL# SIb
There's a place where we belong
SIb MIb
End Section:
[Cm bass riff]
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
