Berikut ini lirik lagu dan chord gitar 'We Will Not Go Down' (Song for Gaza):
[Intro]
Am (x4)
[Verse]
Am C
A blinding flash of white light
G F
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
Am C
People running for cover
G F
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive
Dm Am
They came with their tanks and their planes
Dm Am
With ravaging fiery flames
G F
And nothing remains
C E
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
[Chorus]
F G C
Am G
In the night, without a fight
F G C
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Am G
But our spirit will never die
F G
Am
In Gaza tonight
[Verse]
Am C
Women and children alike
G Am
Murdered and massacred night after night
Am C
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
G F
Debated on who’s wrong or right
Dm Am
But their powerless words were in vain
Dm Am
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
G F
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
C E
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
[Chorus]
F G C
Am G
In the night, without a fight
F G C
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Am G
But our spirit will never die
F G
Am
In Gaza tonight
F G C
Am G
In the night, without a fight
F G C
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Am G
But our spirit will never die
F G C
Am G
In the night, without a fight
Am G
Am
In Gaza tonight
