the same chords on the song. 

Am7             Bm7 
Crazy creatures of our doom 
Am7              Bm7 
Telling us there is no room. 
Am7            Bm7 
Not enough for all mankind 
Am7                  Bm7 
And the seas of time are running dry. 
C                      Bm 
Don't they know it's a lie... 


Em                   Am7 
Man is born with the will to survive, 
Bm7               C 
He'll not take no for an answer. 
Em              Am7 
He will get by, somehow he'll try, 
Bm7               C             Em 
He won't take no, never let go, no... 

repeat twice the Am7 - Bm7 section and then: 

I hear them talk about Kingdom Come, 
I hear them discuss Armageddon... 
They say the hour is getting late, 
But I can still hear someone say, 
This is not the way... 

Man is born with the will to survive, 
He'll not take no for an answer. 
He will get by, somehow he'll try, 
He won't take no, never let go, no...
