Hozier – Nina Cried Power (Guitar)

                        Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

                         D
It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin'

                         C
It's not forgoin' of the lie

            G            B
It's not the openin' of eyes

               Am               Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

                              Em
It's not the shade we should be past it

                            D
It's the light and it's the obstacle that casts it

                              C
It's the heat that drives the light

          G       B
It's the fire it ignites

              Am                Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

                             Em
It's not the song, it is the singin'

                       D
It's the heaven of the human spirit ringin'

                          C
It is the bringin' of the line

            G             B
It is the barin' of the rhyme

               Am               Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

                Em

It's not the war but what's behind it

                    D
Oh, the fear of fellow men, his mere assignment

                          C
And everythin' that we're denied

     G            B
by keepin' the divide

                Am              Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

Power has been cried by those stronger than me

                  G                        B           Am
Straight into the face that tells you to rattle your chains

        Em
If you love bein' free

                     Em
Ah, lord I could cry power

G
Power (power)

                   C
