Pick Yourself Up Ukulele chords by John Edmond

Key: A

Verse 1:
     G                          C            G
In a hot dusty playground of a small country school
      G                      D
Where nobody's heard of the Queensbury rules
C                       G
A skinny young boy cried tears of defeat
    A7                           D7  D D7 D6 D
And they made two rivers down the dust of his cheeks.



Verse 2:
      G                      C            G
So he ran home to Mother and told her his woes;
        G                        D
How the bully had licked him and bloodied his nose.
    C                           G
She said to him "Son, you might be quite small
        A7                   D7         D D7 D6 D
But the bigger they come the harder they fall.

Chorus:
   G                    G
So pick yourself up and dust yourself down
D
Battles ain't won lying down on the ground.
C         D       G           Em
Never say die and always come back
       C        G          D          G
'Cause dynamite comes in a very small pack".

Verse 3:
     G                       C           G
On a hot dusty battleground serving his land
G                 D
That boy was mortally wounded young man.
   C                         G
He said to himself "Man you ain't dead yet!"
    A7                          D7         D D7 D6 D
He remembered the words that his mother had said.

Chorus:
   G                    G
So pick yourself up and dust yourself down
D
Battles ain't won lying down on the ground.
C         D       G           Em
Never say die and always come back
       C        G          D          G
'Cause dynamite comes in a very small pack".
