DON'T GIVE UP

Peter Gabriel

(capo on third fret!)

	Am
In	this proud land we grew up strong

	C
We were	wanted all along

	G
I was	taught to fight, taught to win

	Am
I never	thought I could fail

	Am
	No fight left or so it seems

	C
I am a man whose	dreams have all deserted

	G
I've changed my	face, I've changed my name

	Am
But no one	wants you when you lose

	Am
	Though I saw it all around

	C
Never thought that	I could be affected

	G
Thought that we	'd be last to go

	Am
It is so	strange the way things turn

	Am
	Drove the night toward my home

	C
The place that I was	born, on the lakeside

	G
As daylight	broke, I saw the earth

	Am
The trees had	burned down to the ground

You worry too	much

When	times get	rough, you can fall	back on u	s,

	C	G	C	F	C
Don't give	up,	please don	't give up

	C	G
Got to w	alk out of here, I can't	take anymore

	C	C7	F
Gonna	stand on that	bridge, keep my	eyes down below

	C	G
What	ever may come and what	ever may go,

	C	G	C
That river	's flowing,	that river	's flowing

	Am
	Moved on to another town

	C
Tried	hard to settle down

	G
For ev	ery job, so many men

	Am
So many	men no-one needs
