Peter Gabriel – Dont Give Up chords ver. 2

capo III

   Am                      In this proud land we grew up strong
        CWe were wanted all along
      G  I was taught to fight, taught to win
        AmI never thought I could fail
AmNo fight left or so it seems
                 CI am a man whose dreams have all deserted
                GI've changed my face, I've changed my name
           AmBut no one wants you when you lose
 

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

AmThough I saw it all around
                   CNever thought that I could be affected
               GThought that we'd be last to go
         AmIt is so strange the way things turn

AmDrove the night toward my home
                     CThe place that I was born, on the lakeside
            GAs daylight broke, I saw the earth
              AmThe trees had burned down to the ground

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


          G     G4 GRest your head
              C    F CYou worry too much
                   G     G4 GIt's going to be alright
     C         C7                  F        CWhen times get rough, you can fall back on us, 
           C    G           C           F CDon't give up,    please don't give up

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

AmMoved on to another town
      CTried hard to settle down
      GFor every job, so many men
        AmSo many men no-one needs

F9         C              Am     Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
F          C                     Am     Don't give up - you're not the 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                    F9     Don't give up now - we're proud of who you are
F          C                       F9     Don't give up - you know it's never been easy
F          C                  F            G     Don't give up - 'cos I believe there's a place
                           CThere's a place where we belong
