I Ain't Goin Down chords by Shania Twain

Chords with lyrics

1st Chorus:

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


C majorC

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

(Repeat Chorus)

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


      D MajorD
I worked night and day to keep us goin'
       G+G
Through the sweat and tears

without her knowin'
A augmentedA
It was worth it just to watch her grow
       D MajorD
Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her
 G+G
Whenever she needed my shoulder
 D MajorD
I'm so glad I never let her go

2nd Chorus:


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


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

Oh, oh, oh


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


Repeat 2nd Chorus (2x)

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