Shania Twain - I Ain't Goin' Down: chords

Chorus:
          C#
I'm gonna hold on
                 F#         C#   G#
'cause what I believe in is so strong
           F#   C#
No matter how long, no one
                F#             C# G#  C#
Can tell me I'm wrong  I ain't goin' down

C#
I had a baby at fifteen--
F#
daddy never did forgive me
C#                           G#
I never heard from the guy again
C#
I had to drop outta high school
F#
everybody treated me so cruel
C#                        G#       C#
But I didn't give in and give her away

Chorus

     A#m   G#                 F#
Her smile got me through the day
                     C#
and every night I'd pray
                    G#
I could give her enough
   A#m        G#            F#
At night I'd lie awake and cry
                C#
hopin' we'd get by
                          G#
'Cause you can't live on love

          D#
I worked night and day to keep us goin'
             G#
Through the sweat and tears
without her knowin'
D#                                 A#
It was worth it just to watch her grow
             D#
Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her
  G#
Whenever she needed my shoulder
D#                  A#     D#
I'm so glad I never let her go

Chorus:
D#
I'm gonna hold on
                 G#   D#         A#
'cause what I believe in is so strong
           G#   D#
No matter how long, no one
                G#            D# A#  D#
Can tell me I'm wrong I ain't goin' down

     Cm    A#                 G#
Her smile got me through the years
                 D#
dried away the tears
                    A#
And filled me with hope
    Cm         A#           G#
At night I'd lie awake and cry
 Cm                 D#
prayed we would get by
                        A#
And for the courage to cope

Oh, oh, oh

     Cm    A#                 G#
Her smile got me through the day--
                     D#
and every night I'd pray
                    A#
I could give her enough

Chorus - x2

D#                       G#
No one can tell me I'm wrong
        D# A#   D#
I ain't goin' down
