Prayer Of The Refugee

[G] [F] [D] [G] [F] [D] [G] [F] [D] [G] [F] [D] [G] [F]

        [Em]Warm you[C]rself by the    fire son,
        [G]And the [D]morning will come       soon.
        [Em]I'll tel[C]l you stories of a      better time,
        [G]In a pla[Em]ce that we once         knew.

        [Em]Before w[C]e packed our bags and   left all this
        [D]behind u[Em]s in the        dust,
        [Em]We had a[C] place that we could    call home
And a   [D]life no-[Em]one could       touch.

Don't ho[Em]ld me up now,
        I can stand my own ground       [G]
        I don't need your help now,    [D]
        You won't let me down, down, do[C]wn.
        [Em]Don't hold me up now,
        I can stand my own ground       [G]
        I don't need your help now,      [D]
        You won't let me down, down, do[C]wn, dowwwwwwn..

[G] [F] [D] [G] [F] [D] [G] [F] [D] [G] [F] [D] [G] [F]

        [Em]We are t[C]he angry and the desperate,
        [G]The hungr[D]y and the cold.
        [Em] We are th[C]e one's who kept quiet,
        And always did[G] w[Em]hat we were told.

        [Em]But we'v[C]e been sweaty when you slept so calm,
        [D]In the s[Em]afety of your home.
        [Em]We've be[C]en pulling out the nails that hold up,
        [D]Everything [Em]you've known.

        [Em]Don't hold me up now,
        I can stand my o[G]wn ground
        I don't need your h[D]elp now,
        You won't let me do[C]wn, down, down.
        [Em]Don't hold me up now,
        I can stand my o[G]wn ground
        I don't need your he[D]lp now,
        You won't let me do[C]wn, down, down, dowwwwwwn..

        So o[Em]pen your eye[D]s, child lets [C]be on our w[Em]ay,
        Br[Em]oken windows and a[G]shes are g[C]uiding the[Em] way.
        [Em]Keep qui[G]et no longer we'[D]ll sing [Em]through the     day,
        [Em]The live[C]s that we've l[G]os[Em]t, the lives we've re claimed.

        Don't hold me up now, [Em]
        I can stand my own ground   [G]
        I don't need your help now,  [D]
        You won't let me down, d[C]own, down.
        Don't hold me up now,   [Em]
        I can stand my own ground   [G]
        I don't need your help now,    [D]
        You won't let me down, down, dow[C]n.

I made it pretty easy, so if you're a better guitarist than I am (not hard to do (: ) feel free
jazz it up a bit!
