Don't Give Me Up (Chords)

These are the official lyrics and chords for the song “Don’t Give Me Up”. It’s track #1 from the album “Don’t Give Me Up”.

This is a really short, simple song. The piano basically follows the melody, but that happens automatically by playing these chords with both hands. It’s one of the earliest songs I ever wrote, so the accompaniment isn’t that sophisticated.
