Lyrics

In (Cm)this proud land we grew up strong,

we were (Eb)want ed all a long.

I was (Bb)taught to fight, taught to win.

I nev er (Cm)thought I could fail.

No fight left or so it seems.

I am a man whose (Eb)dreams have all de sert ed.

I’ve changed my (Bb)face I’ve changed my name, but no one (Cm)wants you when you lose.

Don’t (Eb)give up, ’cause you (Ab)have

friends.

Don’t (Eb)give up, you’re not (Ab)bea

ten yet.

Don’t (Eb)give up,

I (Ab)know you can (Bb)make it good.

Though I saw it all a round, nev er thought that I could be af fec ted.

Thought that we’d be the last to go.

It is so strange the way things turn.

Drove the night to ward my home, the place that I was born, on the lake side.

As day light broke, I saw the earth.

The trees had burned down to the ground.

you still

us.

give up, we don’t need much of an y thing.

’cause some where there’s a place where we be (Eb)long.

Rest your (Bb)head,

you wor ry too (Eb)much.

It’s gon na be al (Bb)right.

When (Eb)times

get rough you can fall (Ab)back

on (Eb)us.

Don’t give up,

please don’t give up.

Got to walk

out of here

I can’t take an y more.

Gon na (Eb)stand on that bridge,

keep my (Ab)eyes

down be low.

What (Eb)ev er may come

and what (Bb)ev er may go, that ri ver’s flow ing.

That ri ver’s flow ing.

(Cm)Moved on to an oth er town,

tried hard to (Eb)set tle down.

For ev ’ry (Bb)job, so man y men.

So man y (Cm)men no one needs.

friends.

Don’t (Eb)give up,

Don’t (Eb)give up ’cause I be (Ab)lieve
