INTRO
| G | % | C/G | % | Am/G | % | G | % |
(spoken:) I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it
[G]Boy, oh, I see you're [C/G]sittin' out there all alone
[Am/G]Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you [G]love has gone
Oh, there's gonna [G]be, there's gonna be a whole lot of [C/G]trouble in your life
Oh, so [Am/G]listen to me get up off your knees 'cos [G]only the strong survive
That's what she s[G]aid, only the strong survive
Only the [Am/G]strong survive,
Oh you've [Am]got to be [Bm]strong, you'd [C]better hold [D]on
Don't [G]go all around with your [C/G]head hung down
Well [Am/G]I wouldn't let that little girl, no, I wouldn't let her know
That she made me [G]feel like a clown
There's a [G]whole lot a girls lookin' for a [C/G]good man like you
Oh but [Am/G]you'll never meet 'em if you give up now
And say your [G]life is through
Yes she said: Only the [G]strong survive, only the [Am/G]strong survive,
You've [Am]got to be a [Bm]man, you've [C]got to take a [D]stand
| G | % | C/G | % | Am/G | % | G | % |
Boy, boy, oh boy
Only the [G]strong survive, only the [Am/G]strong survive,
Oh you've [Am]got to be [Bm]strong, you'd [C]better hold [D]on
'Cos [G]only the strong survive
Only the [G]strong survive, only the [Am/G]strong survive,
You've [Am]got to be a [Bm]man, you've [C]got to take a [D]stand
Only the [G]strong survive, only the [C/G]strong survive
Only the [Am/G]strong survive, only the [G]strong survive
(repeat and fade)
