Chords for Mike Love "Neva Retiya" (acoustic) // Gondola Sessions

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ How's it going everybody?
This is Mike Love.
I'm here at the Gondola Sessions in [Dbm] Aspen.
I'm going to be [Eb] performing a song called Never [Dbm] Retire.
It's off of my album, Y'all Will Never Leave I [C] Alone.

[Bbm] _ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ [Gm] _
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ [Ebm] _
[Cm] From [Gm] the first moment I [Db] opened my eyes I [Eb] knew I had a [Gm] destiny to [Cm] realize
Cause [Gm] we are one people, one [Fm] creature, one [Cm] sky
And [Eb] it is not our [Gm] fate that we should [Cm] be divided
And [Gm] dead soon we [Dbm] all will [Fm] be If [Eb] we can figure out a way to [Gm] live in peace and [Cm] harmony
The [Gm] path is ours to [Fm] choose We got so much [Eb] to gain
[Gm] We got even [Cm] more to lose The [Eb] world is [Bb] changing, everyone [Db] knows
[Eb] Forests are dying, one [Gm] humanity [Dbm] grows [Gm] And why do we feel like we don't have [Db] a say
[Eb] In the fate and the future [Gm] of our [Cm] world today
Corporate [Gm] politicians hung up [Db] on the fifties
Making [Eb] bad decisions [Gm] for all of [Cm] us [Eb] With so much [Bbm] undercover
It's only [Db] in each other that we can [Eb] put our [Bb] trust
[C] So farmers [Gm] plant the [Fm] corn And [Db] till [Eb] blizzards [Gm] surely dawn
[C] We all [Gm] must face the dawn [Db] together
_ [Eb] _
[Gm] _ [C] _ [Gm] Singers sing this song [Fm] Cause I [Eb] know it [Gm] won't be [Cm] long
This world will [Gm] die but the spirit [Fm] is forever
[Eb] We're [Gm] _ [Dm] _ _ marching [Eb] forward through the [Gm] never
_ The city [Eb] _ is beyond [Dm] forever
Now [Eb] reborn, [Bbm] a [Gm] pinnacle
It's hard to hand [Eb] to a jolly [E] and a sorrow
[Cm] _ [Bbm] _ _ [G] [Cm] The world [Bb] _ _
[G] _ [Cm] _ [Bbm] is [G] _ [Cm] [Bm] dying, [G] one humanity grows And why do we feel like we don't have a say
In the fate and the future of our world [C] today
[Ab] Corporate politicians hung up on the fifties
So farmers [Bb] plant [Gm] the corn [Db] And till [Eb] blizzards surely dawn
We all [Gm] must face the dawn [F] together
_ [Eb] _
[Gm] _ [C] _ [Bb] Singers sing this song [Db] Cause I know [Eb] it won't [Gm] be long
[Cm] This world will die [Gm] but the spirit is [Fm] forever
[Eb] As [Gm] _ [Cm] if [Bb] into the future we all [Fm] could see We'd probably [Eb] do things [Gm] a little [Cm] differently
At least [Gm] I hope we would have [Db] a sense To see the [Eb] futility of [Gm] all this [Cm] violence
Cause [Gm] now we're seeing the [Fm] damage we've done We've [Eb] become the [Bb] prisoners [Cm] of our own sins
And if [Gm] we are born to survive [Fm] in these times We've got [Eb] to leave the [Bb] past [Dm] behind
_ Dust to [Eb] dust and ashes to [Gm] ashes
Past is the [Eb] future, future we've [Dm] become a curse
From [Eb] descendants _ to [Gm] ancestors
I _ _ [Eb] return home [E]
[Cm] forever
[Bm] Burn the fire, [G] burn the fire
[Cm] _ [Db] _ [G] Conscious [Cm] people
Burn [Bm] the fire, [G] burn the fire
[Cm] Burn [Bm] the [G] _
_ [Cm] [Db] fire, [G] burn the fire Reggae [Cm] music
[Bm] [Bbm] Hang [G] a nice [Cm] family
[Bm] Burn the fire, [Bbm] burn [G] the fire
[Cm] [Bm] Burn the fire
[Db] Never be [G] tired, [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] [Cm] Lord!
_ [Bb]
[Ab] Lest a man will [Cm] burn in fire!
[Bb] As long as we [Ab] whisper in our lungs,
[Cm] And drip up into our [Bb] veins,
We'll keep on [Ab] taking down the [Cm] wicked man!
Never be tired, [Bb] [Ab] Lord!
[Cm] _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ [Cm] _ Hey!
