intro and first verse:

E | --------------------------- | 
B | --------------------------- | 
G | ------------2------------2- | 
D | ------------2------------2- | 
A | -2xx2xx2xx2---2xx2xx2xx2--- | 
E | -0xx0xx0xx0---0xx0xx0xx0--- | 

when the pick of destiny was released it was a bomb
and all the critics said that the D was done
the sun had set and the chapter had closed
                                            E5
but one thing no one thought about was the D would rise again
                 A5                   B5       E5 - A5
just like the phoenix, we'll fucking rise again
                    A5              B5          E5 - A5
that's right the phoenix, we'll rise again. yeaa


[verse 2 just like the intro]

Cause' the fiery heart of a champion cannot be quelched
By a failure or an embarrassment, no way, no
And the critics all agreed it was a stinky pile of cheese
                              E5
But that does not mean that our hearts are not strong
                 A5                   B5       E5 - A5
just like the phoenix, we'll fucking rise again
                    A5              B5          E5 - A5
that's right the phoenix, we'll rise again. yeaa
