Rise Against - People live here
The Black Market (2014)
This version is played with the Capo on the 4th fret. The chords used are all prety easy and
the whole thing sounds pretty good to me this way.
Have fun with this amazing song off of the brand new Rise Against record "The Black Market".
Capo 4
[Intro]
Em C G x2
(Em sounds cool if play the open A and D strings and hammer on the Em chord immediately after)
[Verse 1]
Em C G
My God is better than yours
Em C G
And the walls of my house are so thick
Dsus2 C
I hear nothing at all
G Dsus2 Em
I followed you out in the storm
C G Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
But it carried you off
C G Dsus2 Em
And I burned every picture of yours
C Dsus2
Was that not enough?
[Verse 2]
Em C G
My gun is bigger than yours
Em C
So let's arm the masses
G Dsus2 C
And see what the bastards do then
G Dsus2 Em
Walking tall once set us apart
C G Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Now we're down on all fours
C G Dsus2 Em
Do you cry my name in the dark
C Dsus2
Like I do yours?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
These storms are getting stronger now
G Dsus2
Trusses all bend and sway
Am Em Dsus2
The Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray
[Chorus]
C Dsus2 Em
As the waves crash high
G Dsus2
And the shoreline disappears
C Em
I will scream to the sky
Dsus2 (let it ring)
"Hey, people live here."
[Instrumental]
Em C G x2
[Verse 2]
Em C G
My dreams are not unlike yours
Em C
They long for the safety
G Dsus2 C
And break like a glass chandelier
G Dsus2 Em
But there's laughter and oh there is love
C G Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Just past the edge of our fears
C G Dsus2 Em
And there's chaos when push comes to shove
C Dsus2
But it's music to my ears
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em G Dsus2
May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead
Am Em Dsus2
May these winds be always at your back
[Chorus]
C Dsus2 Em
'Cause when we're all just ghosts
G Dsus2
And the madness overtakes us
C Em
We will look at the ashes
Dsus2 (let it ring)
And say, "People lived here."
[Short Cello Part]
Dsus2 (Release the palm muting slowly)
Em Dsus2 C
Em Dsus2 C
[Bridge]
Em Dsus2 G
From the penthouse to the holy martyr
Em Dsus2 C
Sea to shining sea
Em Dsus2 G
From the coffins full of kindergartners
Em Dsus2 C
Is this what you call free?
Em Dsus2 G
From the hate that drips from all your crosses
Em Dsus2 C
Are your hands so clean?
Em Dsus2 G
And the wildfire and it's spreading far
Em Dsus2 C Dsus2
From sea to shining sea
[Chorus]
C Dsus2 Em
When we're all just ghosts
G Dsus2
And the madness overtakes us
C Em D
I will scream to the sky, yeah I'll scream to the sky
C Em
Yeah I'll scream to the sky
Dsus2 Em
"Hey, people live here."
