Verse:
------

In this proud land we grew up strong
   Cm (x3101x@1)               Bb/C    Cm (x3101x@1)We were wanted all along
Bb/D (x1033x@1)  Eb (x43121@3)        Ab/Eb Eb (x43121@3)       
I was taught to fight, taught to win
      Bb (x1333x@1)             Eb/Bb (x43121@3)   Bb (x1333x@1)I never thought I could fail
        Cm (x3101x@1)      Bb/C  Cm (x3101x@1)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 (444322@1)         Cm7/Ab

     Don't give up - you're not beaten yet
Ab/F       Eb/G (444322@1)               Cm/Ab

     Don't give up - I know you can make it good
Ab/F       Eb/G (444322@1)      Ab (xx1114@1)         Bb (x1333x@1)[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
		     Ab (xx1114@1)                Bm (x24432@1)           Eb (x43121@3)    Ab/Eb-Eb
Bridge:
-------
Rest your head
	  Bb (x1333x@1) Eb/Bb-Bb

You worry too much
	      Eb (x43121@3) Ab/Eb-Eb

It's going to be alright
                 Bb (x1333x@1)  Eb/Bb (x43121@3)name="chord_x1333x@1">Bb

When times get rough, you can fall back on us, 
     Eb (x43121@3)                          Ab (xx1114@1)    Eb (x43121@3)Don't give up,    please don't give up
           Eb (x43121@3)Bb (x1333x@1)      Eb (x43121@3)          Ab/Eb-Eb

Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore
       Eb (x43121@3)                      Bb (x1333x@1)Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below
         Eb (x43121@3)                          Ab (xx1114@1)Whatever may come and whatever may go,
    Eb (x43121@3)                  Bb (x1333x@1)That river's flowing,    that river's flowing
             Eb (x43121@3)     Bb (x1333x@1)            Eb (x43121@3)     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 (xx1114@1)              Bb (x1333x@1)There's a place where we belong
Bb (x1333x@1)                     Eb (x43121@3)End Section:

[Cm bass riff]

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
           Eb (x43121@3)           F (133211@1)            Cm (x3101x@1)
