No Surrender -- Bruce Springsteen

Key: F

Intro:

| F | C | Bb | Bb | F | C | Bb | Bb |

Verse:

F C

Well, we busted out of class, had to get away from the fools

Bb F C

We learned more from a 3 minute record, baby, than we ever learned in school

F

Tonight I hear that neighbourhood drummer sound

C

I can feel my heart begin to pound

Bb

You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes

F C

And follow your dreams down

Chorus:

F C Bb F

Well, we made a promise, swore we'd always remember

Bb C F

No retreat, baby, no surrender

F C Bb F

Like soldiers on a winter's night with a vow to defend

Bb C F

No retreat, baby, no surrender

Verse 2:

Well now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold

We swore blood brothers against the wind, I'm ready to grow young again

And hear your sister's voice calling us home across the open yard

Maybe we'll find someplace of our own with these drums and these guitars

Chorus:

Well, we made a promise, swore we'd always remember,

No retreat, baby, no surrender

Blood brothers on a stormy night with a vow to remember

No retreat, baby, no surrender.

Bridge:

F C

Lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay lay

F C Bb

Lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay lay

F C

Lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay lay

F Bb C

Lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay lay

Verse 3:

Well on the streets tonight, the light's growing dim

The walls of my room are closing in

There's a war outside still raging, you say it ain't ours anymore to win,

I want to sleep beneath the peaceful skies in my lover's bed

With that wild open country in our eyes and those romantic dreams in my head

Chorus:

Well we made a promise, swore we'd always remember,

No retreat, baby, no surrender

Blood brothers on a stormy night with a vow to remember

No retreat, baby, no surrender.
