Prayer Of The Refugee - Rise Against | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
Dm 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Dm                      A#
   Warm yourself by the fire, son,
        C                      Gm 
And the morning will come soon.
Dm                            A#
   I'll tell you stories of a better time,
     F                       Dm 
In a place that we once knew.
Dm 
   Before we packed our bags
    A#                  C                Gm 
And left all this behind  us in the dust,
Dm                              A#
   We had a place that we could call home,
          F 
And a life  no one could touch.
Dm               Dm 
   Don't hold me up now,

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
               F 
I can stand my own ground,
                  C 
I don't need your help now,
                A#
You will let me down, down, down!
              Dm 
Don't hold me up now,
               F 
I can stand my own ground,
                  C 
I don't need your help now,
                A#
You will let me down, down, down!
     Dm 
Down!

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Dm                          A#
   We are the angry and the desperate,
        C                Gm 
The hungry, and the cold,
Dm                          A#
   We are the ones who kept quiet,
              F                   Dm 
And always did  what we were told.
Dm                                   A#
   But we've been sweating while you slept so calm,
       C                   Gm 
In the safety of your home.
Dm                            A#
   We've been pulling out the nails that hold up
   F 
Everything you've known.
Dm               Dm 
   Don't hold me up now,

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
               F 
I can stand my own ground,
                  C 
I don't need your help now,
                A#
You will let me down, down, down!
              Dm 
Don't hold me up now,
               F 
I can stand my own ground,
                  C 
I don't need your help now,
                A#
You will let me down, down, down!

[Interlude]
---------------------
Gm              F 
   So open your eyes child,
                Gm 
Let's be on our way.
                   F 
Broken windows and ashes
                Gm 
Are guiding the way.
              F 
Keep quiet no longer,
                       D#
We'll sing through the day,
                        Dm 
Of the lives that we've lost,
                      A#      F  C 
And the lives we've reclaimed.
Go!
