Alter Bridge – Pawns And Kings (Guitar)

F#m           C#                  Bm             F#m
Tear down the walls and show your courage as you heed the call,

  A              C#
Embarking on the journey yet to come.

F#m         C#
There is no time to waste,

    Bm               A#m                 A
The wretched and the heartless take your future,

       G#        D       C#
If you let their will be done...

F#m          C#
Stand up and hold your ground,

      Bm               A#m
Don't let the bastards grind you down.

     A                C#
It's time to show the Devil what we are.

F#m       C#
Surrender never more,

       Bm                 A#m
Though deep inside, we're battle-worn,

      A              G#m                  C# D
We'll never let them tear this land apart.

Fm F# G#
No...

A   G#         C# D         E
For all of the hope that it brings,

                 F#m                C#m
And though we're pawns, we could be kings.

      F     D              E            C#m        C#
If we believe, against all odds we will survive... Mmm

F#m         C#
Release the hounds of doom,

  B                    A#m
Unsheathe the blade we cannot lose.

      A                C#                     Fm
We're fighting for the only thing we've known.

F#m           C#
And when it's said and done,

    Bm         A#m
Our victory is gained for love,

  A           C#                    D
A worthy sacrifice of flesh and blood.

F F#m G#
Oh...

A   C          D            E
For all of the hope that it brings,

                 F#m                C#
And though we're pawns, we could be kings.

   F       D               E               C#
If we believe, against all odds we will survive.

                  D              E
The last shall be first, give it time,

          F#m               C#
If in the end we're still alive,

         Dm      D        C#                F#m        B
Our victory will prove in time that we were right all along.

        F#m                      B   C#
We must stand up for all that we are,

        F#m             B
We must fight 'til the dawn,

         F#m                    C#
'Til the last of their kind are gone...

C#
Stand your ground, hold your head high.

C#
Your honour for your life.

C#
Stand your ground, don't compromise.

C#
Your courage, their demise.

    F#m  D           E
For the hope that it brings,

                 F#m                C#
And though we're pawns, we could be kings,

                D                C#
The meek shall sing this song tonight.

                D           E
For all of the hope that it brings,

                 F#m                C#
And though we're pawns, we could be kings,

           D               E               C#
If we believe, against all odds we will survive. Mmm

                   D             E
The last shall be first, give it time.

          F#m              C#
If in the end we're still alive,

         D            C#                               F#m
Our victory will justify that we are right where we belong.

C# B A#m A C#
Oh...

F#m       C#         Bm        A#m
Pawns and kings, let sovereign wings,

     A              G#m      C#  D
Give strength where there is none.

F#m       C#m        B          A#m
Pawns and kings, the meek shall sing,

F#m A       C#m     C# C#m
Until God's will is done...
