Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush

Bass line to begin:-

  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.
