Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][C][Em][Am][G][Em]
[Am][Em]
[A][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
We'll go [Em]to knuckle to knuckle,
or buckle against buckle,
Your nostrils will flare as
you push out the air,
[Am]Rise up, Brother,
Rise up from the trappings [C]of flesh
and hold[Em]ings of skin,

[Verse 2]
[Em]We'll steer the car towards the reservoir,
And poison our senses as
nightfall commences,
Rise [Am]up, Brother,
Rise up from [C]the monotony that
is [Em]hemming you in,

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Tonight while you sleep you'll
[C]be grinding your teeth,
[Em]Put your head at the North
[C]and the South at your feet,
[Em]Rise[Am] up, Brother,
Rise up from the pack who are baying
and clawing [G]for blood,
[Em]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Oooo-oooo
Who's Who's there?
How can you hear the door,
I'm one-hundred acres
[C]acres of sycamore,
[G]Oh flash my [C]hand past
your eyes in the air,
[Am]But it won't break [D]your [G]stare,
Is there anyone there,
But the [C]four black winds blowing through
the [G]eaves of your mind?

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Am][C][Em]

[Verse 5]
If [Em]he darkens your doorway,
you come and tell me,
Where he resides, text me or bell me,
Rise [Am]up, Sister,
I'll make sure he never darkens
your door[Em]way again,

[Verse 6]
[Em]Don't be a stranger to [C]me [Em]anymore,
I'll hold a lan[G]tern,
put your [C]heel on the shore,
[Em]Rise[Am] up, Sister,
Rise up from the black ships that sail through
[C]the swan of [Em]your heart,

[Verse 7]
[Am]
Oooo-oooo
Who's Who's there?
How can you hear the door,
I'm one-hundred acres
acres of syca[A]more,
[G]Oh flash my han[C]d past
your eyes in the air,
But it won't [D]break [G]your stare,
Is there anyone there,
But the [C]four black wind[G]s blowing
[Am]through the eaves [G]of your mind?
[Em]

[Verse 8]
Those [C]weasels in the weed
[G]s a[Am]wait to jump us,
One [C]had [D]a screwdriver and
[Am]one had a cutlass,
[C]We counted the beats [Em]between [Am]thunder and lightning,
One-thousand [C]and and two,
[Em]one-thousand and a[Am]nd three,
It's coming [D]in from the Sea,

[Verse 9]
[G]
Put your hand on my leg,
[C]Kilometres in blue and
[Am]miles [D]in black[G],
Lose my eyes in the bathroom,
Arm-wrestle, [C]East, East,
[Am]West, place [G]brass-tack,
Bite Bite my lip in the car,
midnight [C]ringing,
[D]Unravel on the [C]gravel, phone [D]off, [G]walk,
Search for the lighter in my pocket,
Go [C]inner, and [G]inner, and [Am]bolt, and book,
[G]Let the fou[C]r black winds begone from the[G] eaves

[Outro 1]
of the mind.
