From "Black Smoke Rising" EP
Tabbed by thatchadmiller (Twitter)


The intro and verses are all using the same chord shapes. These are
the main chord shapes but play it loosely and don't worry about each
note being hit. The main string to make sure to accentuate is the
BB string.

Verse 1 *Use the same riff and chord progression from the intro*
I didn't know there was a tower
Where they look out to the land
To see the people quickly passing by
This is for their own desire
As they spit down to the earth
To feel the power boiling in their veins

Verse 2 (play intro chords again)
Many people are dividing
And a world apart with just one heart
Is bound to keel and fade away
None of us will be deciding
And the fate of man is in the hands
Of he who stands and heeds the call
