Verse:
------

In this proud land we grew up strong
   Cm                 A#/C    Cm

We were wanted all along
A#/D    D#          G#/D# D#
        
I was taught to fight, taught to win
      A#               D#/A#     A#

I never thought I could fail
        Cm        A#/C  Cm

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
G#/F       D#/G           Cm7/G#

     Don't give up - you're not beaten yet
G#/F       D#/G                 Cm/G#

     Don't give up - I know you can make it good
G#/F       D#/G        G#           A#

[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
		     G#         Bm             D#      G#/D#-D#
Bridge:
-------
Rest your head
	  A#   D#/A#-A#

You worry too much
	      D#   G#/D#-D#

It's going to be alright
                 A#    D#/A# A#

When times get rough, you can fall back on us, 
     D#                   G#      D#

Don't give up,    please don't give up
           D#  A#        D#            G#/D#-D#

Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore
       D#               A#

Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below
         D#                   G#

Whatever may come and whatever may go,
    D#           A#

That river's flowing,    that river's flowing
             D#       A#              D#       G#/D#-D#  

[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
              G#                A#

There's a place where we belong
A#              D#

End Section:
------------
[Cm bass riff]

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
           D#             F              Cm
