[Verse 1]
 
C                    G
You’re broken down and tired
Am              F
Of living life on a merry-go-round
C                     G
And you can’t find the fighter
Am                  F
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
C       G        Am        F
And moooooooooove mountains
F
We gonna walk it out
C      G       Am         N.C.
And moooooooooove mountains
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
            C
And I’ll rise up
I'll rise like the day
       G
I’ll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
      Am
I'll rise up
                          F
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
          C
And I’ll rise up
High like the waves
      G
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
      Am
I'll rise up
                          F
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
    C
For you
    G
For You
    Am
For You
    F
For You
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                     G
When the silence isn’t quiet
Am                     F
And it feels like it’s getting hard to breathe
C                      G
And I know you feel like dying
Am                  F
But I promise we’ll take the world to its feet
C       G        Am         F
And mooooooooooove mountains
F
Bring it to its feet
C       G        Am       N.C.
And moooooooooove mountains
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
         C
And I’ll rise up
I'll rise like the day
     G
I’ll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
     Am
I'll rise up
                          F
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
C
For you
G
For you
Am
For You
F
For You
 
[Bridge]
C                     G
All we need, all we need is hope
                      Am
And for that we have each other
                      F
And for that we have each other
C
We will rise
           G
We will rise
               Am
We’ll rise, ohh ohhh
F
We’ll rise
 
[Slow Chorus]
      C
I’ll rise up
Rise like the day
     G
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
Am                         F
I will rise a thousand times again
 
[Chorus 3]
           C
And we’ll rise up
High like the waves
      G
We’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
      Am
We’ll rise up
                           F
And we'll do it a thousands times again
C
For You
G
For You
Am
For You
F
For You
 
[Outro]
C     G     Am    F
Ooh,  Ooh,  Ahh,  Ahh

There's an error in the lyrics: The second prechorus is "and mooooove mountains, bring it to its feet, and mooooove mountains" I actually put the capo on the 6th fret and play G D Em C. It sounds closer in pitch to what the piano in the original track is playing (and makes it way easier to drop the key of the song if you need to - just move the capo down).
