Dont Give Up

   Am
In this proud land we grew up strong
        C
We were wanted all along
      G
I was taught to fight, taught to win
        Am
I never thought I could fail

Am
No fight left or so it seems
                 C
I am a man whose dreams have all 
deserted
                G
I've changed my face, I've changed 
my name
           Am
But no one wants you when you lose


[Chorus]

F          Cmaj7             F9
     Don't give up - 'cos you have 
friends
F          C                    
     Don't give up - you're not 
F9
beaten yet
F         C/E          F        
     Don't give up - I know you 
    G
can make it good


[Verse]

Am
Though I saw it all around
                   C
Never thought that I could be 
affected
               G
Thought that we'd be last to go
         Am
It is so strange the way things turn

Am
Drove the night toward my home
                     C
The place that I was born, on the 
lakeside
            G
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
              Am
The trees had burned down to the 
ground


[Chorus]

F9          C              F9
      Don't give up - you still have
 us
F           C/E                 
      Don't give up - we don't need 
F9
much of anything
F           C /E             F 
      Don't give up - 'cos 
                  G                
somewhere there's a place where we 
 C
belong


[Bridge]

          G     G4 G
Rest your head
              C    F C
You worry too much
                   G     G4 G
It's going to be alright
     C         C7                  
When times get rough, you can fall 
F        C
back on us,
           C    G           C    
Don't give up,    please don't 
       F C
give up

        C                       G
Got to walk out of here, I can't 
take anymore
      C             C7            
Gonna stand on that bridge, keep 
  F
my eyes down below
    C                     G
Whatever may come and whatever may 
go,
          C           G     
That river's flowing,    that 
       C
river's flowing


[Verse]

Am
Moved on to another town
      C
Tried hard to settle down
      G
For every job, so many men
        Am
So many men no-one needs


[Chorus]

F9         C              Am
     Don't give up - 'cos you have 
friends
F          C                     
     Don't give up - you're not the 
Am
only one
F          C             F9
     Don't give up - no reason to be
 ashamed
F          C             F9
     Don't give up - you still have 
us
F          C                    
     Don't give up now - we're proud
F9
 of who you are
F          C                      
     Don't give up - you know it's
 F9
 never been easy
F          C                  F 
     Don't give up - 'cos I 
           G
believe there's a place
                           C
There's a place where we belong
