I Ain't Goin Down chords by Shania Twain

1st Chorus:

     C
I'm gonna hold on--
         G
'cause what I believe in is so strong
      C
No matter how long, no one
        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
G
I never heard from the guy again
C
I had to drop outta high school--
F
everybody treated me so cruel
C
But I didn't give in and give her away

(Repeat Chorus)

   F
Her smile got me through the day--
           C
and every night I'd pray
          G
I could give her enough
  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'
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
I'm so glad I never let her go


2nd Chorus:


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


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

Oh, oh, oh


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


Repeat 2nd Chorus (2x)

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