Whatever it takes to break,
Gotta do it,
From the burning lake or the Eastern gate,
You'll get through it.

Rattle that lock and lose those chains,

Rattle that lock and lose those chains,

Let's go do it,
Have it all our way,
Go back to where we blew it,
And lose our heads along the way.

So long sin, au revoir chaos,

If there's a heaven it can wait,
AbAb
So long sin, au revoir chaos,
F minorFm
If there's a heaven

Rattle that lock,
Rattle that lock, lose those chains
Rattle that lock,
Rattle that lock, lose those chains


[Verse 3]

C minorCm
And all the other travellers,
Become phantoms to our eyes,
Furies and the revellers,
Fallen angels in disguise.


[Chorus 3]

AbAb
No discord chance or rumour,
F minorFm
Is going to interrupt this bliss,
AbAb
No discord chance or rumour,
F minorFm
Is going to interrupt this,

[Verse 4]

C minorCm
So let's get to it,
it's calling like a flame,
Through the darkness and the night,
The world suspended on a golden chain.


[Chorus 4]

AbAb
No discord chance or rumour,
F minorFm
Is going to interrupt this place,
AbAb
No discord chance or rumour,
F minorFm
To interrupt this,

The rhythm for this song live is played as just (1-2-3-4-).
However on the record there is a more complex (1&2&3-4-)(1&2&3&4-)
pattern in the verse. In the chorus between the AbAb and the F minorFm you can
play a G minorGm as a passing chord.
