      D          A        E      A

      You don't give up without a fight
 
[ A  D  A ]
 
   Ba-ba-banana...
D                       E
You say you're poor and uneducated   
You ain't gotta chance 'cause you're hated
You're on your way to life's promotion
You hinder it with emotion
 
[ A  C  E  D ] x4
 
      You better offer...
