G
Well I went up on the mountain and I looked down on my life
C                                                   G
I have squandered all my money and lost my faithful wife
                                                    C
My heart was full with sorrow and I almost took my life
      G                               D                  G
But I found the strength inside me to give life one more try

[Chorus]
G
If at first you don't succeed
Try, try, again
C
If at first you don't succeed
                 G
Just try and try again

If all you do is lose
                         C
You better find a way to win
G
If at first you don't succeed
D           G
Try and try again

[Verse 2]
G
I know someday the world will learn to sing a better song
C                                                          G
The blind will see, the deaf will hear we'll all just sing along
                                                      C
The fighting will be ended and all hunger will all be gone
     G                            D                 G
It's everybody's business 'til we get the good work done

[Chorus]
G
If at first you don't succeed
Try, try, again
C
If at first you don't succeed
                 G
Just try and try again

If all you do is lose
                         C
You better find a way to win
G
If at first you don't succeed
D           G
Try and try again
