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

We will not go down

        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

We will not go down

           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

We will not go down

        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

We will not go down

        Am

In Gaza tonight

        F    G   C

We will not go down

        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

We will not go down

        Am               G

In the night, without a fight

        Am      G

We will not go down

           Am

In Gaza tonight
