The Shadows - Don't Give Up (Guitar Instrumental Version played by Chris Hampton)

Описание: Here is my version of "Don't Give Up" which was originally written and recorded by the English singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel which appeared on his 1986 solo album "So". The song was a duet and featured the vocals of the English singer-songwriter Kate Bush. It was released as a single and spent eleven weeks on the charts, peaking at number nine. This arrangement was by The Shadows and appeared on their 1987 album "Simply...Shadows"

I played this using my Fender Stratocaster (Bridge Pickup with Neck/Middle combination also used) with the Zoom G2.1Nu with Echoes From The Past (EFTP Patch A9). Recording was done via USB to my home PC with Cubase.

The backing track was the Shadows original with Hank's lead reduced and I also used tablature created by Phil McGarrick (random275 on YouTube). It is available for download from his website - http://www.philmcgarrick.co.uk

I hope you enjoy my version of this very powerful song

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'Cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up

Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Gonna stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong
