Am (x02210@1)                    
In this proud land we grew up strong
        CWe (x32010@1)were wanted all along
      G (320003@1)
I was taught to fight, taught to win
        AmI (x02210@1)never thought I could fail
AmNo (x02210@1)fight left or so it seems
                 CI (x32010@1)am a man whose dreams have all deserted
                GI've (320003@1)changed my face, I've changed my name
           AmBut (x02210@1)no one wants you when you lose

F (133211@1)        Cmaj7 (x32000@1)           F9 (101011@1)    Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)                  F9 (101011@1)    Don't give up - you're not beaten yet

AmThough (x02210@1)I saw it all around
                   CNever (x32010@1)thought that I could be affected
               GThought (320003@1)that we'd be last to go
         AmIt (x02210@1)is so strange the way things turn

AmDrove (x02210@1)the night toward my home
                     CThe (x32010@1)place that I was born, on the lakeside
            GAs (320003@1)daylight broke, I saw the earth
              AmThe (x02210@1)trees had burned down to the ground
