Peter Gabriel - Dont Give Up Chords

   Em                                         G      
In this proud land we grew up strong, we were wanted all along.
      D                                       Em
I was taught to fight, taught to win. I never thought I could fail.
Em                                             G
No fight left or so it seems, I am a man whose dreams have all deserted.
                D                                     Em
I've changed my face, I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose.
 
Am7        G6                  Cadd9    Am7        G6             Cadd9
Don't give up, 'cause you have friends. Don't give up, you're not beaten yet.
Am7        G6    C            D       G
Don't give up. I know you can make it good.


Em                                             G        
Though I saw it all around, never thought that I could be affected.
             D                                Em       
Thought that we'd be the last to go. It is so strange the way things turn.
Em                                                    G 
Drove the night to-ward my home. The place that I was born on the lakeside.
            D                                     Em  
As daylight broke, I saw the earth, the trees had burned down to the ground.
 
Am7        G6                Cadd9  Am7        G6           Cadd9
Don't give up, you still have  us.  Don't give up, we don't need  much of anything.
Am7        G6          Cadd9    C      Cmaj7  Dsus2             G
Don't give up, 'cause somewhere there's  a    place where we be-long.


          D                   G                         D
Rest your head, you worry too much. It's going to be al-right.
     G                             C       G                  D                 G           
When times get rough, you can fall back on us. Don't give up, please don't give up.
       G                         D
Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore.
         G                             C
Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below.
     G                      D                         G        D            G 
What-ever may come and what-ever may go. That river's flowing, that river's flowing. 


Em                              G
Moved on to another town, tried hard to settle down.
          D                         Em
For every job, so many men. So many men no-one needs.

Am7        G6                  Cadd9    Am7        G6                 Cadd9
Don't give up, 'cause you have friends. Don't give up, you're not the only one.
Am7        G6              Cadd9          Am7        G6                 Cadd9
Don't give up, no reason to  be  ashamed. Don't give up, you still have  us.
Am7        G6            Cadd9                 Am7        G6                Cadd9
Don't give up, now we're proud of who you are. Don't give up, you know it's never been easy.
Am7        G6           Cadd9             D                                  G 
Don't give up, 'cause I believe there's a place, there's a place where we be-long.
