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

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

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