A
Piano keys hammering down
G D
Wayward strums balance a wall of sound
A
Iron horses idle on deserted tracks
G D
Even the pope says it's the earth fightin' back
[Chorus 1]
A G D
It's alright, the worst will soon be over
A
Let the rhythm rise like a banner
G D
With more sorrow than anger
A G D x 2
[Verse 2]
A
Who now speaks of the fires that ravage towns
G D
Boats cross the Arctic since glaciers melted down
A
Turbulent rains never before seen
G D
Caused the floods that washed away dreams
[Chorus 2]
A G D
It's alright, the worst will soon be over
A
Let the rhythm rise like a banner
G D
With more sorrow than anger
A G D x 2
[Verse 3]
A
Now's the time to reconcile our souls
G D
With a hopeful ear turned to Muscle Shoals
A
With a watchful eye, the story will rise above
G D
The mad iron hand in the velvet glove
[Chorus 3]
A G D
It's alright, the worst will soon be over
A
Let the rhythm rise like a banner
G D
With more sorrow than anger
[Chorus 4]
A G D
It's alright, the worst will soon be over
A
Let the rhythm rise like a banner
G D
With more sorrow than anger
G D
With more sorrow than anger
