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