[Verse 1]
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
