C
I remember, wasn't so long ago
We had a one room shack and the livin' was low
F
And my mama by herself raised me and my bro
Wasn't easy, but we did it with the little that go
C
Worked hard while the suckers cool every day
And kept her eyes on the stars when the skies were grey
F
Gave us pride to survive, really showed us the way
Now I really understood what she was tryin' to say
C
She said, "Son there'll be times when the tides are high
And the boat may be rocky, you can cry
F
Just never give up you can never give up," uh-uh
C
In this life you could lead if you only believe
And in order to achieve what you need
F
You can never give up
You can never give up
C C9 F
And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on
C C9 F
and this hope that makes me carry on on and on
C
Boom-boom , couldn't have made it alone
I got a wonderful life, two kids on my own
F
With a strong foundation that was carved in stone
And my mama for the love that made my house a home
C
Made me wonder some time if this was meant to be
All this for a humble little guy like me
F
And all I ever really wanted was a family
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/shaggy/hope_crd.html ]
To teach my kids the same value that she gave to me
C
She said, Son there'll be times when the tides are high
And the boat may be rocky, you can cry
F
Just never give up
You can never give up, uh-uh
C
In this life you could lead if you only believe
And in order to achieve what you need
F
You can never give up
You can never give up
C C9 F
And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on
C C9 F
and this hope that makes me carry on on and on
C
We nah turn no stepper, things a go better
Never let yourself be overcome by pressure
F
Cool yah me bredda, have faith instead a
Sid-dung and a watch and all a fight one another
C
Blaze like fire, nah go retire

F
We hav a reach higher a that him require
Haffi mek we mark before the time expire
C C9 F
And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on
C C9 F
and this hope that makes me carry on on and on
C C9 F
And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on
C C9 F
and this hope that makes me carry on on and on
