[Verse 1]
GWell I went up on the mountain and I looked down on my life
CI have squandered all my money and lost my faithful Gwife
My heart was full with sorrow and I almost took my lCife
But I Gfound the strength inside me to Dgive life one more Gtry
[Chorus]
GIf at first you don't succeed
Try, try, again
CIf at first you don't succeed
Just try and try Gagain
If all you do is lose
You better find a way to Cwin
GIf at first you don't succeed
DTry and try Gagain
[Verse 2]
GI know someday the world will learn to sing a better song
CThe blind will see, the deaf will hear we'll all just sing Galong
The fighting will be ended and all hunger will all be Cgone
It's Geverybody's business 'til we Dget the good work Gdone
[Chorus]
GIf at first you don't succeed
Try, try, again
CIf at first you don't succeed
Just try and try Gagain
If all you do is lose
You better find a way to Cwin
