Pick Yourself Up by John Edmond
Pick Yourself Up
Tuning:G C E A
Key:A
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G C G
In a hot dusty playground of a small country school
G D
Where nobody's heard of the Queensbury rules,
C G
A skinny young boy cried tears of defeat
A7 D7 D D7 D6 D
And they made two rivers down the dust of his cheeks.
[Verse 2]
G C G
So he ran home to Mother and told her his woes;
G D
How the bully had licked him and bloodied his nose.
C G
She said to him "Son, you might be quite small
A7 D7 D D7 D6 D
But the bigger they come the harder they fall.
[Chorus]
G G
So pick yourself up and dust yourself down,
D
Battles ain't won lying down on the ground.
C D G Em
Never say die and always come back
C G D G
'Cause dynamite comes in a very small pack".
[Verse 3]
G C G
On a hot dusty battleground serving his land,
G D
That boy was mortally wounded young man.
C G
He said to himself "Man you ain't dead yet!"
A7 D7 D D7 D6 D
He remembered the words that his mother had said.
[Chorus]
G G
So pick yourself up and dust yourself down,
D
Battles ain't won lying down on the ground.
C D G Em
Never say die and always come back
C G D G
'Cause dynamite comes in a very small pack".
