[Playing tips]
- The 'C' chords in the song usually have a 'hammer' of the middle finger of the 'C' chord.
- Also, for the 'F' chords in the Verses,
the pinky plays the third fret of the high 'e' string at half of it's duration.
[Verse]
C
Love is our language
Am G F
We beckon wide
C
The ghost of our citizenship
Am G F
We can never hide
C
This anchor cast
Am G F
Stuck below ground
C
A weight of words
Am G F
Is only a sound
[Chorus]
Am G F
Leaving the ship was our rise and fall
Am G F
We will sound the trumpets, It is our call
Am G F
Send love to the heart of the bigot's wall
Am G F Fm
Unload light at night, we will rise, won't fall
[Verse]
C
No boundary on our voyage
Am G F
Navigate from the craft
C
This baggage we bring
Am G F
Might be our last
C
A whip to the heart
Am G F
Millennial waters fast
C Am G F
The human race is a thing of the past
[Chorus] (double with some alternative chords)
Am G F
Leaving the ship was our rise and fall
Am G F
We will sound the trumpets, It is our call
Am G F
Send love to the heart of the bigot's wall
Am G C
Unload light at night, we will rise, won't fall
Am G F
Leaving the ship was our rise and fall
Am G F
We will sound the trumpets, It is our call
Am G F
Send love to the heart of the bigot's wall
Am G F Fm
Unload light at night, we will rise, won't fall
