Dont Give Up Chords

ARTIST: Peter Gabriel
TITLE: Don't Give Up
Lyrics and Chords


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

/ Bm - A Bm - A / D - G D - - / A - - - - - / Bm - A Bm - - /

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

   Don't give up, 'cause you have friends
   Don't give up, you're not beaten yet
   Don't give up, I know you can make it good

   / G - - D - - Bm - - - - / : / G - - D - - G - - A - - / 

Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be 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

   Don't give up, you still have us
   Don't give up, we don't need much of anything
   Don't give up, 'cause somewhere there's a place
   Where we belong

   ... / D - - - - - /

Rest your head, you worry too much
It's going to be all right
When times get rough you can fall back on us
Don't give up, please don't give up

/ A - - - - - D - - - - - / A - - - - - / 
   / D - - - - - G - - D - - / - - - A - - D - - - - - /
   
Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

/ D - - - - - / A - - - - - / 1st / G - - - - - /
   / 1st, 2nd / D - - A - - / D - G D - - /

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

   Don't give up, 'cause 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, 'cause I believe there's a place
   There's a place where we belong

   ... / G - - D - - G - - A - - / - - - D - G D - - /
