F    G     C       G
I'm not gonna give it up
        F   G
I'm not goin'
   
          

I'm not gonna give it up
        F   G   
I'm not goin'
           Am

     F 
Till Africa      G
And Africans are free
C                     F           
I said that I been up there
C                            F
And I've seen poverty beyond compare
C                               F
I know slave drivers just don't care
                G
They just don't care
CHORUS
C                    F
Africa's the richest place
C                      F  
But it has the poorest race
C                   F
And to me it's just a disgrace
        G
Just a disgrace
C              F
Africans don't wait too long
C                      F        
We gotta fight 'cause it's not wrong
C                     F
Won't you join in and sing this song
          G
Sing this song
CHORUS
C                  F
To be poor it's a hurtful pain

C                          F
Livin' inna poverty it's a burning shame
C                         F     
Help yourself 'cause man you're not lame
             G
You are not lame
CHORUS
