We Will Not Go Down

   Ami                       C 
1. A blinding flash of white light 
              G               Ami 
   Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight 
   Ami                C 
   People running for cover 
               G                        Ami 
   Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive 
 
   Dmi                     Ami 
X:    They came with their tanks and their planes 
   Dmi              Ami 
      With ravaging fiery flames 
   G                F 
      And nothing remains 
          C                      E7 
   Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze 
 
           F       C 
R: We will not go down 
          Ami              G 
   In the night, without a fight 
           F                           C 
   You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools 
           Ami               G 
   But our spirit will never die 
           Ami    G 
   We will not go down 
             Ami 
   In Gaza tonight 
 
2. Women and children alike 
   Murdered and massacred night after night 
   While the so-called leaders of countries afar 
   Debated on who’s wrong or right 
 
X: But their powerless words were in vain 
   And the bombs fell down like acid rain 
   But through the tears and the blood and the pain 
   You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze 
 
R: We will not go down 
   In the night, without a fight 
   You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools 
   But our spirit will never die 
   We will not go down 
   In Gaza tonight 
 
R: We will not go down 
   In the night, without a fight 
   You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools 
   But our spirit will never die 
   We will not go down 
   In the night, without a fight 
   We will not go down 
   In Gaza tonight
