Song: Rise Against -Prayer Of The Refugee
Hey I experienced some chord tabs of Rise Against really failing...
so I made myself 1 by ears.. Comments are welcome
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
The tuning of the official song is half-step down..
but this tab is already transposed to normal tuning..
If you want to play it like the official... tune ur guitar half-step down
and let ultimate-guitar do the +1 transposing (so you get proper chord shapes)
At the intro I like to NOT play the low E and A string cause i dont like it..
otherwise just play 8's
I also like to continue playing intro at beginning, after each chorus, and after solo..
HAVE FUN PLAYING!

Verse 1:
Ebm B
Warm yourself by the fire, son
C# Ab
And the morning will come soon.
Ebm B
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
C# Ebm
In a place that we once knew.
Ebm
Before we packed our bags
B C# Ab
And left all this behind us in the dust,
Ebm B
We had a place that we could call home,
C# Ebm
And a life no one could touch.
Chorus:
Ebm
Don’t hold me up now,
F#
I can stand my own ground,
C#
I don’t need your help now,
B
You will let me down, down, down!
Ebm
Don’t hold me up now,
F#
I can stand my own ground,
C#
I don’t need your help now,
B B ~
You will let me down, down, down! Down!
Verse 2:
Ebm B
We are the angry and the desperate
C# Ab
The hungry, and the cold,
Ebm B
We are the ones who kept quiet,
C# Ebm
And always did what we were told.
Ebm B
But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
C# Ab
In the safety of your home.
Ebm B
We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
C# Ebm
Everything you’re known.
Chorus:
Ebm
Don’t hold me up now,
F#
I can stand my own ground,
C#
I don’t need your help now,
B
You will let me down, down, down!
Ebm
Don’t hold me up now,
F#
I can stand my own ground,
C#
I don’t need your help now,
B
You will let me down, down, down!
Bridge:
Abm F#
So open your eyes child,
Abm
Let’s be on our way.
F#
Broken windows and ashes
Abm
Are guiding the way.
F#
Keep quiet no longer,
E
We’ll sing through the day,
Ebm
Of the lives that we’ve lost,
B F# - C#
And the lives we’ve reclaimed.
Go!
