Rise To Power

Intro: Am Dm E Am

  Am                        Dm
I counted to one hundred, I kept 
losing track
  E                              
I wrote a hundred letters, no one 
       Am
wrote back
  Am                          Dm
I told a hundred stories, and all of
 them got twisted
  E                           
I sang a hundred songs, nobody 
 Am
listened

Chorus:
              Dm             Am
You've got to rise to power, rise to
 power
E                          Am
Baby you've got to rise to power
              Dm             Am
You've got to rise to power, rise to
 power
F                                 
Ain't a shade of difference, 
       G             Am
between the hills and the cowards
E                          Am
Baby you've got to rise to power

Continues after the ad
Am                 Dm
Forced confessions,  and the coming 
attractions
E                                 
Delusions that grandeur, split 
  Am
into factions
  Am                     Dm
A silent dark camelot, a kingdom 
gray and black
  E                          
A dull empty heaven, a strong 
         Am
leaders hand


Chorus:
              Dm             Am
You've got to rise to power, rise to
 power
E                          Am
Baby you've got to rise to power
              Dm             Am
You've got to rise to power, rise to
 power
F                          G     
You're down on your knees, 
         Am
pulling up the flowers
E                          Am
Baby you've got to rise to power


F G Am E Am

  Am             Dm
No holy water can wash me clean
   E                          
No angel in my seed to hear my 
 Am
screams
 Am                 Dm
Into your embrace, I ever drift
    E                  Am
And in your arms, unforgiven

Chorus:
              Dm             Am
You've got to rise to power, rise to
 power
E                          Am
Baby you've got to rise to power
              Dm             Am
You've got to rise to power, rise to
 power
   F                               
The whole world's watching, there's
   G          Am
 a gun in the tower
E                          Am
Baby you've got to rise to power
