Rise To Power by The Nightwatchman
Rise To Power
Intro: Am Dm E Am
Am Dm
I counted to one hundred, I kept losing track
E Am
I wrote a hundred letters, no one wrote back
Am Dm
I told a hundred stories, and all of them got twisted
E Am
I sang a hundred songs, nobody 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 G Am
Ain't a shade of difference, between the hills and the cowards
E Am
Baby you've got to rise to power
Am Dm
Forced confessions, and the coming attractions
E Am
Delusions that grandeur, split into factions
Am Dm
A silent dark camelot, a kingdom gray and black
E Am
A dull empty heaven, a strong 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 Am
You're down on your knees, 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 Am
No angel in my seed to hear my 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 G Am
The whole world's watching, there's a gun in the tower
E Am
Baby you've got to rise to power
Dm E Am

Play the above riff once, then repeat as necessary, with the lyrics.
The riff continues throughout the whole song
"I counted to one hundred
I kept losin' track
I wrote one hundred letters
No one wrote back
I told one hundred stories
But all of them got twisted
I sang one hundred songs
But nobody listened
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Baby, you've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Rise to power
Ain't a shade of difference
'Tween the heroes and the cowards
Baby, you've got to rise to power
Forced confessions
And coming attractions
Delusions of grandeur
Split into factions
A silent dark Camelot
A kingdom grey and bland
A dull empty heaven
A strong leader's hand
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Baby, you've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Rise to power
You're down on your knees
Pullin' up the flowers
Baby, you've got to rise to power
No holy water
Can wash me clean
No angel of mercy
To hear my screams
Into your embrace
I'm ever driven
And in your arms
Unforgiven
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Baby, you've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Rise to power
The whole world's watchin'
There's a gunman in the tower
Baby, you've got to rise to power."
