This is a beautiful song, "Iron Sky".
It is completely different to any other song he has done.
The use of Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" is awesome.
Capo 4th Fret
Intro
[Am] [G] [F] [Dm]
[Am] [G] [F] [Dm]
Verse
[Am] [G]
We are proud individuals
[F] [Dm]
Living for the city
[Am]
But the flames
[G] [F] [Dm]
Couldn't go much higher
[Am] [G]
We find God and religions
[F] [Dm]
To bait us with salvation
[Am] [G]
But no one, no nobody
[F] [Dm]
Can give you the power
Chorus
[Am]
To rise
[G]
Over love
[F]
Over hate
[Dm] [Am]
Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind
[G] [F] [Dm] [Dm]
Over fear and into freedom
Verse
[Am]
Oh, that's life
[G]
That's dripping down the walls
[F]
Of a dream that cannot breathe
[Dm]
In this harsh reality
[Am] [G]
Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind
[F] [Dm]
Serves now to define our cold society
Chorus
[Am]
From which we'll rise
[G]
Over love
[F]
Over hate
[Dm] [Am]
Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind
[G] [F]
Over fear and into freedom
[Dm] [Dm]
You've just got to hold on
[Am] [G] [Am] [G]
You've just got to hold on
Interlude
[Am] (only 2 sec.) [G] [F] [Dm]
(Keep playing Am G F Dm through the whole speech in broken chords.)
"To those who can hear me, I say... do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,
and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men,
machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines! You are not cattle!
You are men! You, the people,
have the power to make this life free and beautiful,
to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Let us use that power, let us all unite."
Chorus
[Am]
And we'll rise
[G]
Over love
[F]
Over hate
[Dm] [Am]
Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind
[G] [F]
Over fear and into freedom
[Dm]
Into freedom
[Am]
From which we'll rise
[G]
Over love
[F]
Over hate
[Dm] [Am]
Through this iron sky that's fast becoming our mind
[G] [F]
Over fear and into freedom
[Dm] [Am] [G] [F] [Dm]
Freedom, freedom
Coda

Rain on me
