No Surrender chords
Capo III *
DOoohhh, Aooohhh, Gohhhhh
DOoohhh, Aooohhh, Gohhhhh 2x
Well we Dbusted out of class
Had to get aAway from those fools
We learned Gmore from a three minute record baby
Than we Dever learned in Aschool
Tonight I Dhear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can Afeel my heart begin to pound
You say you're Gtired and you just want to close your eyes
And Dfollow your dreams Adown
Well we Dmade a Apromise we swore we'd Galways reDmember
No reGtreat baby Ano surDrender
Like Dsoldiers in the Awinter's night with a Gvow to deDfend
No reGtreat baby Ano surDrender
Well Dnow young faces grow sad and old
And Ahearts of fire grow cold
We Gswore blood brothers against the wind
Now I'm Dready to grow Ayoung again
And Dhear your sister's voice calling us home
AAcross the open yard
Well Gmaybe we can cut someplace of our own
With these Ddrums and these guiAtars
Well we Dmade a Apromise we swore we'd Galways reDmember
No reGtreat baby Ano surDrender
Blood Dbrothers in the Astormy night with a Gvow to deDfend
No reGtreat baby Ano surDrender
GLay lay lay lay lay lay lay, Alay lay lay lay Dlay
GLay lay lay lay lay lay lay, Dlay lay lay lay Alay 2x
Well now Don the streets tonight the lights grow dim
The Awalls of my room are closing in
There's a Gwar outside still raging
You say it ain't Dours anymore to Awin
I want to Dsleep beneath peaceful skies
AIn my lover's bed
With the Gwide open country in my eyes
And these Dromantic dreams in my Ahead
Because we Dmade a Apromise we swore we'd Galways reDmember
No reGtreat baby Ano surDrender
Blood Dbrothers in the Astormy night with a Gvow to deDfend
No reGtreat baby Ano surDrender
No reGtreat baby Ano surDrender
DOoohhh, Aooohhh, Gohhhhh
DOoohhh, Aooohhh, Gohhhhh 2x
