Verse 1:

     G5                A5         G5           D5
They brang us up with horns and Hollywooden songs,
     G5                   A5          D5     F#5 B5    A5
Dead snakes and poisoned wisdoms be-tween our teeth.
    G5                A5           G5           A5
The evil that's been done; still is carrying on,
    G5              A5              F#5   B5
And on this night, there'll be no peace.

Verse 2:

    G5            A5            G5                 D5
The old leaders' bones, still beat on our homes,
     G5              A5             D5   F#5 B5     A5
They built our life before us; we had no  choice.
    G5                A5           G5           A5
The evil that's been done; still is carrying on,
    G5                  A5            B5
And when they're gone; we'll be the voice.

Verse 3:

G5               A5     G5                 D5
 Blue bird on a rock, slow wind blowing soft,
  G5              A5           D5    F#5  B5   A5
A-cross the bare face of the slee-ping lake.
     G5         A5           G5               D5
Rise up and be free; voice whispered to me,
    G5            A5          F#5   B5
And in this way; you will a-wake.

Verse 4:

   G5             A5           G5               D5
Go climb up on a hill, stand perfectly still,
    G5        A5           D5   F#5  B5
And silently soak up the day.
      G5                  A5           G5         D5
Don't rush and don't you roam; don't feel so a-lone.
    G5            A5          B5
And in this way, you will a-wake.

And in this way, you will a-wake,

And this way; you will awake.

 Pick up the pieces, you see be-fore you,

 Don't let your weaknesses de-stroy you.
          C5            G5       D5          E5
You know, wherever you go; the world will follow,
C5            G5          D5      A5
 So let your reasons be true... to you.

Stay close to your friends, up until the end,
    G5                   A5            D5     F#5 B5  A5
And when they know that you feel the same...   way.
     G5         A5        G5         D5
Rise up and be free and die happi-ly.
    G5            A5          B5
And in this way, you will a-wake.

A5 , E5 , A5  F#5
