9. DON'T GIVE UP TILL IT'S OVER
Don't Give up till it's Over was written 
with my father in mind. 
It's the kind of spirited song he himself 
sang in the bars around our neighbourhood 
when I was growing up (he had a fine baratone voice, 
with the emphasis on the bar) and everyone 
usually joined in in the chorus. 
The Dubliners' version has made it popular 
around Europe, where many versions have been recorded.

[G]Don't give upD] till it's [D]over, [C]don't quit if you [G]can
The [D]weight upon your [G]shoul[C]der will [G]make you a [D]stronger[G] man
 
 
Grasp your nettle tightly, though it will burn
Treat your failures lightly, your luck is bound to turn
Chorus
 
 
Look at the autumn flowers how they wither and fade
With nature's hidden powers, next year they'll be re-made
Chorus
 
 
Watch the full moon rising, like a ghost of the sun
Oh, dawn will be more surprising, when a new day has begun

Guitar chords in the key of D Major.

[D]Don't give up[A] till it's [A]over, [G]don't quit if you [D]can
The [A]weight upon your [D]shoul[G]der will [D]make you a [A]stronger[D] man
