[Verse 1]
In Cmthis proud land we grew up strong
We were Ebwanted all along
I was Bbtaught to fight, taught to win
I never Cmthought I could fail
CmNo fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose Ebdreams have all deserted
I've changed my Bbface, I've changed my name
But no one Cmwants you when you lose
[Chorus 1]
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up - 'cos you Cm7/Abhave friends
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up - you're not Cm/Abbeaten yet
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up - I Abknow you can Bbmake it good
[Verse 2]
CmThough I saw it all a-round
Never thought that EbI could be affected
Thought that Bbwe'd be the last to go
It is so Cmstrange the way things turn
CmDrove the night to-ward my home
The place that I was Ebborn, on the lakeside
As daylight Bbbroke, I saw the earth
The trees had Cmburned down to the ground
[Chorus 2]
Ab/F don't Eb/Ggive up - you still Cm7/Abhave us
Ab/F don't Eb/Ggive up - we don't Cm7/Abneed much of anything
Ab/F don't giEb/Gve up - 'cos soAbmewhere there's a plBbace where we beEblong
[Bridge]
Rest your Bbhead
You worry too Ebmuch
It's going to be al-Bbright
When Ebtimes get rough, you can fall Abback on Ebus,
Don't give Ebup, Bb please Ebdon't give up Ab/Eb
[Verse 3]
-
Eb Got to Ebwalk out of here, I can't Bbtake anymore Going to Ebstand on that bridge, keep my Abeyes down below What-Ebever may come and what-Bbever may go, That river's Ebflowing, Bb that river's EbflowingCmMoved on to a-nother town
Tried Ebhard to settle down
For every Bbjob, so many men
So many Cmmen no-one needs
[Chorus 3]
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up - 'cos you Cm7/Abhave friends
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up - you're Cm7/Abnot the only one
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up - no Cm7/Abreason to be ashamed
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up - you still Cm7/Abhave us
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up now - we're Cm7/Abproud of who you are
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up - you know it's Cm7/Abnever been easy
Ab/F Don't Eb/Ggive up - 'cos I be-Ablieve there's a Bbplace
BbThere's a place where we Ebbelong
