#In this proud land we grew up strong


   [Cm]                   [Bb/C]        [Cm]   We were wanted all along


[Bb/D]        [Eb]            [Ab/Eb]      [Eb]   I was taught to fight, taught to win


      [Bb]                 [Eb/Bb]          [Bb]   I never thought I could fail


        [Cm]          [Bb/C]      [Cm]   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


Chorus:

     Don't give up - 'cos you have friends


[Ab/F]           [Eb/G]               [Cm7/Ab]            Don't give up - you're not beaten yet


[Ab/F]           [Eb/G]                     [Cm/Ab]         Don't give up - I know you can make it good


[Ab/F]           [Eb/G]            [Ab]             [Bb](verse)


Though I saw it all around


Never thought I could be affected


Thought that we'd be the 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


(chorus)


don't give up - you still have us


don't give up - we don't need much of anything


don't give up - 'cos somewhere there's a place where we belong


Bridge:

Rest your head


          [Bb]     [Eb/Bb-Bb]         You worry too much


              [Eb]     [Ab/Eb-Eb]         It's going to be alright


                 [Bb]      [Eb/Bb]      [Bb]   When times get rough, you can fall back on us,


     [Eb]                              [Ab] [Eb]Don't give up,    please don't give up


           [Eb]    [Bb]          [Eb]           [Ab/Eb-Eb]Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore


       [Eb]                          [Bb]   Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below


         [Eb]                           [Ab]Whatever may come and whatever may go,


    [Eb]                      [Bb]   That river's flowing,    that river's flowing


             [Eb]         [Bb]              [Eb] [Ab/Eb-Eb](verse)


Moved on to another town


Tried hard to settle down


For every job, so many men


So many men no-one needs


(chorus)


Don't give up - 'cos 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 - 'cos I believe there's a place


                       [Ab]             [Bb]There's a place where we belong


[Bb]                         [Eb]   End Section:

(Cm bass riff)


Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up


           [Eb]               [F]          [Cm] [--]           [///////////////////////////////////////////////////]// What makes mass society so difficult to bear  //


        // is not the number of people involved...but    //


        // the fact that the world between them has lost //


        // its power to gather them together, to relate  //


        // and to separate them. -- Hannah Arendt, 1958  //
