[Chorus]
C
Among the dead among the dead
F                      G
Among the dead we will rise
C
Among the dead among the dead
F                      G
Among the dead we will rise


[Verse]
C                                    F                        G                C
If you count me out you better think again you better realize now that I ain't stopping
C                                     F                       G                      C
This is where I start this is where I begin this is where you stop this is where you end
C                      F                         G
Woke up in a downtown street we were crashed out living in rubble
C                         F            G
Broken bones broken homes broken kid’s living in the jungle
C                                     F                     G
Nineteen eighty seven in the East bay cold as hell it's the middle of summer
C                              F     G
Me and Jesse and Matt and Dave Mello he was the drummer
C                                            F                     G
My momma said you better watch your back boy keep your head up and be a shot blocker
C                                  F                        G
On the outside looking in with the freaks and the thugs and all the punk rockers
C                                        F             G
They say I’m outta step in this world so step back man I ain't gonna warn ya
C                           F               G
Here's a message for the disenfranchised of East bay California


[Chorus]
C
Among the dead among the dead
F                      G
Among the dead we will rise
C
Among the dead among the dead
F                      G
Among the dead we will rise

Let me tell you something about the East bay it's California but it ain’t sunny
C                           F                      G
All my dreams came crashing down I’m outta home my street got no money
C                              F                   G
And got no band and got no one around and all the music is gone man
C                        F                         G
No where to sleep on the ground wondering what the fuck went wrong now
C                                     F                 G
Know what it’s like to walk among the dead I’m alone in total isolation
C                     F  G
No ones there this is my final destination
C                              F                  G
Old man preaching bout war and peace and the path and total damnation
C                                   F          G
I always seem to get up get out and survive in every situation


[Chorus]
C
Among the dead among the dead
F                      G
Among the dead we will rise
C
Among the dead among the dead
F                      G
Among the dead we will rise

Than one day Matt says let's get the band together let's do this one more time son
C                        F                   G                      C
I’m ok that sounds good let’s give it a try let’s give it one more run
C                    F            G                  C
We got garage we got drums we got guitars we got the songs
C                           F                G               C
We got the songs we got the songs we got the songs all night long

Among the dead we will rise
