Tab2
This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
The transcription is based on both original version and the 'Never Let Go'
live version.

repeat one more times before singing starts. Play this guitar 'line' through
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...
