Introduction:
D2
Well, we bursted out of class
A
Had to get away from those fools
G
We learned more from a 3-minute record, baby
D2 A
Than we ever learned in school
D2
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
A
I can feel my heart begin to pound
G
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes
D2 A
And follow your dreams down
D2 A G
Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
D2 A D2
No retreat, baby, no surrender
D2 A G
Like soldiers on the winter's night
G
With a vow to defend
D2 A D2
No retreat, baby, no surrender
D2
Well, now young faces grow sad and old
A
And hearts of fire grow cold
G
We swore blood brothers against the wind
D2 A
And I'm ready to grow young again
D2
And I hear your sister's voice calling us home
A
Across the open yards
G
Well even we can cut someplace of our own
D2 A
With these drums and these guitars
D2 A G
'Cause, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
D2 A D2
No retreat, baby, no surrender
D2 A
Blood brothers on a summer's night
G
With a vow to defend
D2 A D2
No retreat, baby, no surrender
(Strumming)
D2 A
Huh ah ah ah ah ah ah
D2 A D2
Huh ah ah ah ah ah ah
D2
Now out on the streets tonight the lights are growing dim
A
And the walls of my room are closing in
G
But it's good to see your smiling face
D2 A
And to hear your voice again
D2
Now we can sleep in the twilight
A
By the river bed
G
With a wide open country in our hearts
D2 A
And these romantic dreams in our hands
D2 A G
'Cause, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
D2 A D2
No retreat, baby, no surrender
D2 A
Blood brothers on a summer's night
G
With a vow to defend
D2 A D2
No retreat, baby, no surrender
D2 A D2
No retreat, baby, no surrender
