[Intro]
F#m E Bm
It's a rising tide out on the street tonight
F#m E Bm
Rising over you
F#m E Bm
It's a rising tide, just when the moon is right
F#m E Bm
They'll be coming after you
[Verse]
F#m E
Born with a bright future, nothing gets in my way
Bm
Steppin' into the light of a bright sunny day
F#m E Bm
Let us feel the warmth, make me feel reborn
F#m E
Takin' away the pains of the things that we do
Bm
Breakin' away the chains, now they're lookin' for you
F#m E
We've got nothing but we've something to say
Bm
Free us from our own robbed grave
[Chorus]
F#m E Bm
It's a rising, rising tide
F#m E Bm
It's a rising, rising tide
A E Bm F#m
Just like the rising tide is coming after you
A E Bm F#m
You will be righted for all the wrongs you do
A E Bm
Ooooh Oooh Ooh
F#m
All the people say
A E Bm
Ooooh Oooh Ooh
[Verse]
F#m E
Singin' another song to keep the reggae beach rockin'
Bm
Swimmin' in the sound, now there's no time for talkin'
F#m E
Tick tick tockin' of the clock it's never stoppin'
Bm
Tickin' like a bomb, bomb's away, we be droppin'
F#m E Bm
Downtown, down that road, down on your luck
N.C.
There's a story to be told
F#m E
And it's written in the sand
Bm
In the music of the shoreline band
F#m E
Crazy fool, yeah you keep cool, just
Bm
Scratchin' on your head, it's like you never knew this
F#m E
Burnin' down the villages but never seem to notice
Bm
Callin' up all the people only askin' for forgiveness
F#m E
What are we gunna do right now
Bm
Somebody has got to show them how
F#m
To stand their ground and do not run
E
The battles only just begun
Bm
Like the rising of the setting sun
N.C.
This time you know there's only one, one
[Chorus]
F#m E Bm
It's a rising, rising tide
F#m E Bm
It's a rising, rising tide
A E Bm F#m
Just like the rising tide is coming after you
A E Bm F#m
You will be righted for all the wrongs you do
A E Bm
Ooooh Oooh Ooh
F#m
All the people say
A E Bm
Ooooh Oooh Ooh
[Bridge]
F#m E
Oh 'til the ends of the earth
Bm F#m E Bm
We will sing it, we will bring it
F#m E
No matter if we sink or swim
Bm F#m E Bm
We will carry on, carry on
[Chorus]
F#m E Bm
It's a rising, rising tide
F#m E Bm
It's a rising, rising tide
A E Bm F#m
Just like the rising tide is coming after you
A E Bm F#m
You will be righted for all the wrongs you do
A E Bm
Ooooh Oooh Ooh

All the people say

Ooooh Oooh Ooh
[Outro]
