"Give to Live"
by Sammy Hagar
as played on the Van Halen Live CD
Verse 1:
Em A D G6 G G6
I can see that you've got fire in your eyes
A D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
and pain inside your heart.
Em A D G6
So many things have come and torn your world apart.
A Fill 1
So baby, baby, Don't give up...
Fill 1:

B----------2-------------2-------------2-------2------|
G--------2---2---------2---2---------2---2-----2------|
D------2-------2-----2-------2-----2-------2---2------|
A----0-----------------------------------------0------|
E------------------3-------------2--------------------|
Chorus:
D G
If you want love,
A Asus4 A Asus4 A
You've got to give a little.
D G
If you want faith,
A Fill 2
You've got to believe a little.
D Em
If you want peace,
A Em
Can you change a little?
D G
You've got to give, you've got to give,
A
You've got to give...to live.
Fill 2:

D--------------4-2-0-|

Verse 2: (same pattern as Verse 1)
An empty hand, reaching out for someone.
An empty heart, takes so little to fill.
It's so much easier, to push instead of pull.
So baby, baby. Don't give up.
Chorus
Bridge:
Em G6
Each man's a country, in his own right.
Em
Everybody needs a friend.
D G6
One friend, one god, one country,
A Fill 1
No man need defend.
Verse 3 (same pattern as Verses 1 & 2)
I believe, in fate and destination.
So much of that lies in our own hands.
So if you know what you want, well then you can go on out and get it.
But baby, baby...Oh baby don't you ever give up.
D G
But if you want love,
A Asus4 A Asus4 A
You got to give a little.
D G
If you want faith,
A Fill 2
You got to believe a little.
D Em
If you want peace,
A Em
Can you change a little?
D G A Asus4 A Asus4 A
If you want love you got to give
D G A Asus4 A Asus4 A
If you want love, you want faith, you want to believe.
D G A Asus4 A
You want to love somebody, want to share your love, want to give your love.
D G
Give a little bit, give a little bit,
A
give a little bit, give a little bit,
D G
Give a little bit, give a little bit,
A D
give a little bit, give a little bit.
G A Asus4 A Asus4 A
Give to live.
D G
You've got to give, give to live
A D G A
Give a little bit, give a little bit, give a little bit.
D G A
You've got to give to live.
D G A
You've got to give, I've got to give, we've got to give to live.
D G A Fill2 D
The chords are:

Dsus4 X X 0 2 3 3

G6 3 2 0 0 3 0
This is a really cool song done acoustically. IMHO, the version on the
Van Halen Live CD is much better than the version on Sammy's solo album.
I won't vouch for the accuracy of this transcription, as I am an engineer
and not a music major...With that in mind, I am welcome to any corrections
or questions :)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official VAN HALEN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
