I remember, wasn't so long ago 

We had a one room shack and the livin' was low 
        F
And my mama by herself raised me and my bro 

Wasn't easy, but we did it with the little that go 
        C 
Worked hard while the suckers cool every day 

And kept her eyes on the stars when the skies were grey 
          F
Gave us pride to survive, really showed us the way 

Now I really understood what she was tryin' to say 
            C
She said, "Son there'll be times when the tides are high 

And the boat may be rocky, you can cry 
                F
Just never give up  you can never give up," uh-uh 
         C
In this life you could lead if you only believe 

And in order to achieve what you need 
                   F  
You can never give up 

You can never give up 


          C         C9              F
And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on 
          C         C9             F
and this hope that makes me carry on  on and on 


 C
Boom-boom , couldn't have made it alone 

I got a wonderful life, two kids on my own 
          F
With a strong foundation that was carved in stone 

And my mama for the love that made my house a home 
         C
Made me wonder some time if this was meant to be 

All this for a humble little guy like me 
          F
And all I ever really wanted was a family 
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/shaggy/364078.html ]
To teach my kids the same value that she gave to me 
           C
She said, Son there'll be times when the tides are high 

And the boat may be rocky, you can cry 
                F
Just never give up 

You can never give up, uh-uh 
         C
In this life you could lead if you only believe 

And in order to achieve what you need 
                   F
You can never give up 

You can never give up 


          C         C9              F
And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on 
          C         C9             F
and this hope that makes me carry on  on and on

 
    C
We nah turn no stepper, things a go better

Never let yourself be overcome by pressure
 F
Cool yah me bredda, have faith instead a

Sid-dung and a watch and all a fight one another
  C
Blaze like fire, nah go retire 

God nah sleep and a him inspire
   F 
We hav a reach higher a that him require

Haffi mek we mark before the time expire 


          C         C9              F
And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on 
          C         C9             F
and this hope that makes me carry on  on and on 
          C         C9              F
And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on 
          C         C9             F
and this hope that makes me carry on  on and on
