Song: Rise Against -Prayer Of The Refugee Hey I experienced some chord tabs of Rise Against really failing... so I made myself 1 by ears.. Comments are welcome IMPORTANT NOTE!!! The tuning of the official song is half-step down.. but this tab is already transposed to normal tuning.. If you want to play it like the official... tune ur guitar half-step down and let ultimate-guitar do the +1 transposing (so you get proper chord shapes) At the intro I like to NOT play the low E and A string cause i dont like it.. otherwise just play 8's I also like to continue playing intro at beginning, after each chorus, and after solo.. HAVE FUN PLAYING!

Ebm B I’ll tell you stories of a better time, C# Ebm In a place that we once knew. Ebm Before we packed our bags B C# Ab And left all this behind us in the dust, Ebm B We had a place that we could call home, C# Ebm And a life no one could touch. Chorus: Ebm Don’t hold me up now, F# I can stand my own ground, C# I don’t need your help now, B You will let me down, down, down! Ebm Don’t hold me up now, F# I can stand my own ground, C# I don’t need your help now, B B ~ You will let me down, down, down! Down! Verse 2: Ebm B We are the angry and the desperate C# Ab The hungry, and the cold, Ebm B We are the ones who kept quiet, C# Ebm And always did what we were told. Ebm B But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm, C# Ab In the safety of your home. Ebm B We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up C# Ebm Everything you’re known. Chorus: Ebm Don’t hold me up now, F# I can stand my own ground, C# I don’t need your help now, B You will let me down, down, down! Ebm Don’t hold me up now, F# I can stand my own ground, C# I don’t need your help now, B You will let me down, down, down! Bridge: Abm F# So open your eyes child, Abm Let’s be on our way. F# Broken windows and ashes Abm Are guiding the way. F# Keep quiet no longer, E We’ll sing through the day, Ebm Of the lives that we’ve lost, B F# - C# And the lives we’ve reclaimed. Go!
