We Will Not Go Down

Am                          C
A blinding flash of white light
            G               F
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
   Am                  C
People running for cover
                 G                     F
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

Dm                                        Am
   They came with their tanks and their planes
Dm                       Am
   With ravaging fiery flames
G                 F
   And nothing remains
        C                       E
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze


[Chorus]

        F    G   C
We will not go down
        Am               G
In the night, without a fight
         F              G              C
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
        Am                 G
But our spirit will never die
        F      G
We will not go down
           Am
In Gaza tonight


[Verse]

  Am                 C
Women and children alike
                 G                   Am
Murdered and massacred night after night
             Am                            C
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
   G                       F
Debated on who’s wrong or right

Dm                                   Am
  But their powerless words were in vain
Dm                                   Am
  And the bombs fell down like acid rain
G                               F
  But through the tears and the blood and the pain
         C                                  E
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze


[Chorus]

        F    G   C
We will not go down
        Am               G
In the night, without a fight
        F              G              C
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
        Am                 G
But our spirit will never die
        F      G
We will not go down
        Am
In Gaza tonight

        F    G   C
We will not go down
        Am               G
In the night, without a fight
         F              G              C
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
         Am                 G
But our spirit will never die
        F    G   C
We will not go down
        Am               G
In the night, without a fight
        Am      G
We will not go down
           Am
In Gaza tonight
