Don’t Give Up Peter Gabriel
capo III
In [Am]this proud land we grew up strong
We were [C]wanted all along
I was [G]taught to fight, taught to win
I never [Am]thought I could fail
[Am]No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose [C]dreams have all deserted
I've changed my [G]face, I've changed my name
But no one [Am]wants you when you lose
[F] Don't [Cmaj7]give up - 'cos you[F9] have friends
[F] Don't [C]give up - you're not [F9]beaten yet
[F] Don't[C/E] give up - I [F]know you can [G]make it good
[Am]Though I saw it all around
Never thought that [C]I could be affected
Thought that we[G]'d be last to go
It is so [Am]strange the way things turn
[Am]Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was [C]born, on the lakeside
As daylight [G]broke, I saw the earth
The trees had [Am]burned down to the ground
(chorus)
[F9] Don't [C]give up - you s[F9]till have us
[F] Don't [C/E]give up - we don't n[F9]eed much of anything
[F] Don't [C]gi[/E]ve up - 'cos so[F]mewhere there's a pl[G]ace where we belon[C]g

Rest your [G]head[G4] [G]
You worry too [C]much[F] [C]
It's going to be al[G]right[G4] [G]
When [C]times get [C7]rough, you can fall [F]back on u[C]s,
Don't give [C]up, [G] please don[C]'t give up[F] [C]
Got to w[C]alk out of here, I can't[G] take anymore
Gonna [C]stand on that [C7]bridge, keep my [F]eyes down below
What[C]ever may come and what[G]ever may go,
That river[C]'s flowing, [G] that river[C]'s flowing
[Am]Moved on to another town
Tried [C]hard to settle down
For ev[G]ery job, so many men
So many [Am]men no-one needs
[F9] Don't [C]give up - 'cos [Am]you have friends
[F] Don't [C]give up - you're not t[Am]he only one
[F] Don't [C]give up - no r[F9]eason to be ashamed
[F] Don't [C]give up - you [F9]still have us
[F] Don't [C]give up now - we're p[F9]roud of who you are
[F] Don't [C]give up - you know it's [F9]never been easy
[F] Don't [C]give up - 'cos I be[F]lieve there's[G] a place
There's a place where we be[C]long
