Verse 1:
GAGD They brang us up with horns and Hollywooden songs, GADF#mBmA Dead snakes and poisoned wisdoms be-tween our teeth. GAGA The evil that's been done; still is carrying on, GAF#mBm And on this night, there'll be no peace.
Interlude:
A, EF#
Verse 2:
GAGD The old leaders' bones, still beat on our homes, GADF#mBmA They built our life before us; we had no choice. GAGA The evil that's been done; still is carrying on, GABm And when they're gone; we'll be the voice.
Interlude:
A, E, AF#
Verse 3:
GAGD Blue bird on a rock, slow wind blowing soft, GADF#mBmA A-cross the bare face of the slee-ping lake. GAGD Rise up and be free; voice whispered to me, GAF#mBm And in this way; you will a-wake.
Verse 4:
GAGD Go climb up on a hill, stand perfectly still, GADF#mB7 And silently soak up the day. GAGD Don't rush and don't you roam; don't feel so a-lone. GABm And in this way, you will a-wake.
A, E, AF#
GADF#mBm And in this way, you will a-wake, GAE And this way; you will awake.

Verse 5:
GAGD Stay close to your friends, up until the end, GADF#mBmA And when they know that you feel the same... way. GAGD Rise up and be free and die happi-ly. GABm And in this way, you will a-wake.
A, E, AF#
GADF#mBmA And in this way, you will a-wake, GAE And this way; you will a-wake.
