Bruno Mars - Dont Give Up
Okay, I've listened to this thoroughly and I believe this is as close to perfect as
possible. any corrections feel free to correct it in the comments.
I strongly recommend bar chords for this song as the strumming sounds alot better with a
reggae beat.
Strumming Pattern: For the Chorus its Twice down on the first B and once for A and G.
For the Verses its twice down on every chord.
For the Bridge its only once with every chord.
(As soon as you strum down, its best to mute the chord, either by lifting the fret
finger of the bar or stopping the strings with your palm)
So here it is:
Intro:
BAG
OOooOOooh
BAG
OOooOOooh
Verse 1:
BA
When you wanna do something thats new.
EF#
And it seems really, really hard to do.
BA
You feel like quitting, you feel your through.
EF#
Well I have some advice for you
Chorus:
BAG
Don't give up, Keep on trying,
BAG
Your gonna make it, I aint lying
BAG
dont give up, don't ever quit,
BAG
try and try and you can do it, dont give up (yeah)
Verse 2:
BAEF#
If you want to catch a ball, but your having no luck at all.
BA
The ball hits your head, it hits your nose.
EF#
It hits your belly, your chin and toes.
BAEF#
Well try and try and try again, keep on trying and soon then
BA
You'll put your hands out in the air,
EF#
You'll catch that ball, yes this I swear
Chorus 2:

Dont give up, keep on going.
BAG
Youre on a boat, so keep on rowing
BAG
Dont give up, dont ever stop,
BAGB
Try and try and you'll come out on top, dont give up.
Verse 3:
DA
You got yourself new roller-skates.
GA
You put them on and you feel great,
DA
Stand up, but then you fall,
GA
Dont think you can skate at all.
Bridge:
AG
You get back up and then you trip
AG
You skip and tip and slip and flip
AG
Well try and try and try some more,
AGA
And soon your skating across the floor.
Final Chorus:
BAG
Dont give up, keep on moving.
BAG
Youre gonna get there just keep on grooving
BAG
Dont give up, dont pack it in,

Try and try and you will win, dont give up.
