Long Forgotten Sons
View chords used in this chart
There was no chord-version on the internet, so I decided to make one myself. The chords
are "taken" from
tab-versions I found. Rise Against originally plays in Halfstep-down.
Verse:
Dm
Far from home on a road unknown
F
Where the vultures circle on winds that blow
C B Am Dm
From northern skies that haunt these waking moments
Dm
On shadows cast by the mountain range
F
On calloused soles we find our way
C B Am B
Through desperate eyes, we long for the horizon
C
While this sun is rising, yeah
Chorus:
Dm F C
We are the long forgotten sons
Dm F C
And daughters that don't belong to anyone
Dm F C
We are alone under this sun
Dm F C
We work to fix the work that you've undone
verse 2:
Dm
When cries for help go unanswered
F
And signal fires just burn and burn
C B Am Dm
We'll wonder if we're waiting here for nothing
Dm
'Cause our lips are sewn, our ears are filled
F
With the constant drone of the unfulfilled
C B Am B
But we'll never fall if we stand for something
C
We stand for something, yeah
Chorus:
Yeah, we are the long forgotten sons
And daughters that don't belong to anyone
And we are alone under this sun
We work to fix the work that you've undone
Bridge:
B C
Don't fall, I see lights in the distance, they're not far away
B C
Stand up because the sky is turning gray
B C
There's hope in these footsteps of persistence
B C
So don't go astray, these lights get closer everyday
Dm F C
We are the long forgotten sons
Dm F C
Yeah, we are the long forgotten sons
Last Chorus:
We are the long forgotten sons
And daughters that don't belong to anyone
And we are alone under this sun
We work to fix the work that you've undone
What you've undone
Have fun!
