with no capo.

[Verse 1] 
          Em              C
By the moonlight, we arise with a waking
  G                  D
knees not shaking,  sharp and shaping art
Em           C
In the dawn's rays, a dim breaking
  G                  D
truth ablaze, in perfect phase
Em           C
Over taking it for the taking
      G                   D
for what's not bound is what's not made
Em      C                  G              D
No we will not take it, another lie we will not take it

[Verse 2] 
       Em       C
The future will be much better-
G                    D
those in chains will be unfettered
Em                    C
And ligths, they'll be shining down above the tree line
G                   D
no defeat when we join each other here.
Em                       C
I heard it through the walls of the station
G                      D
steel and stone could not contain us.
Em           C
Beyond the bounds of the nation
G                      D
still no stone could not could quite confine us.

By the moonlight, we'll rise with awaking

knees not shaking, sharp and a shaping art

The dawn's rays and dim breaking

Beyond above the bounds of a nation
