[Intro]
G C D G
[Verse 1]
Em C G
And it's hard to wake from feeling blue
C D G
Oh but I will rise, I will rise
Em C G
And my hands may shake from lack of booze
C D G
Oh but I will rise, Lord I will rise
Em C G
And I've fallen out of space and time
C D G
Oh but I will rise, oh I will rise
Em C G
And I dug my grave with honest lies
C D G
Oh but I will rise, Lord I will rise
[Chorus]
C
Now I'm king of the hounds
G D
I wear shame like a crown
G Em C G
And they're placing bets all over town
C
On how I'll die
D G
But I will rise
[Verse 2]
Em C G
And I grieve to death from losing you
C D G
Oh but I will rise, Lord I will rise
Em C G
And I choke on ash like cheap perfume
C D G
Oh and I will rise, Lord I will rise
Em C G
And I'm scared to death of my own mind
C D G
Oh and I will rise, Lord I will rise
Em C G
From the bottom of the well I hide
C D G
Oh and I will rise, Lord I will rise
[Chorus]
C
Now I'm king of the hounds
G D
I wear shame like a crown
G Em C G
And they're placing bets all over town
C
On how I'll die
D G
But I will rise
[Verse 3]
Em C G
And I walk through hell and like the view
C D G
Oh and I will rise, Lord I will rise
Em C G
Though your image of me now is skewed
C D G
Oh I will rise, Lord I will rise
Em C G
And I've given up my final time
C D G
Oh and I will rise, Lord I will rise
Em C G
Now my candle burns from either side
C D G
Oh and I will rise, Lord I will rise
[Chorus]
C
Now I'm king of the hounds
G D
I wear shame like a crown
G Em C G
And they're placing bets all over town
C
On how I'll die
D G
But I will rise
