This is a beautiful song "Iron Sky".
It is completely different to any other song he has done.
The use of Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" is awesome.
This is my first tab so tell me of any flaws please, and keep in mind that..
I'm only 14 and I've wasted a sunny day to figure this one out.
The tricky bit is learning the chord changes.
Capo: 4th Fret.

"To those who can hear me, I say... do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,
and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men,
machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines! You are not cattle!
You are men! You, the people,
have the power to make this life free and beautiful,
to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Let us use that power, let us all unite."
[Chorus]
Am
And we'll rise

Over hate
Dm Am
Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind

Over fear and into freedom
Dm Am G F Dm
Freedom, freedom
