Capo 2 
 
Verse 1: 
 
G5 
Well I went up on the mountain and I looked down on my life 
C5                                                   G5 
I have squandered all my money and lost my faithful wife 
                                                    C5 
My heart was full with sorrow and I almost took my life 
      G5                               D5                  G5 
But I found the strength inside me to give life one more try 

Refr?o 
G5 
If at first you don't succeed 
 
Try, try, again 
C5 
If at first you don't succeed 
                 G5 
Just try and try again 
 
If all you do is lose  
                         C5 
You better find a way to win 
G5 
If at first you don't succeed 
D5           G5 
Try and try again

Verse 2: 
G5 
I know someday the world will learn to sing a better song 
C5                                                          G5 
The blind will see, the deaf will hear we'll all just sing along 
                                                      C5 
The fighting will be ended and all hunger will all be gone 
     G5                            D5                 G5 
It's everybody's business 'til we get the good work done
