[Intro]
    F#mIt's a rEising tide Bmout on the street tonight 
      F#mREising over Bmyou 
  F#mIt's a rEising tide, Bmjust when the moon is right 
F#mThey'll be cEoming after Bmyou 
[Verse]
F#mBorn with a bright future, nothing gEets in my way 
BmSteppin' into the light of a bright sunny day 
F#mLet us feel the wEarmth, mBmake me feel reborn 
F#mTakin' away the pains of the tEhings that we do 
BmBreakin' away the chains, now they're lookin' for you 
F#mWe've got nothing but we've sEomething to say 
BmFree us from our own robbed grave 
[Chorus]
It's a F#mrising, rEising Bmtide 
It's a F#mrising, rEising Bmtide
AJust like the rEising tide is cBmoming after F#myou
AYou will be rEighted for aBmll the wrongs you F#mdo 
AOoooh OEooh OBmoh 
F#mAll the people say 
AOoooh EOooh OBmoh 
[Verse]
F#mSingin' another song to keep the rEeggae beach rockin' 
BmSwimmin' in the sound, now there's no time for talkin' 
F#mTick tick tockin' of the cElock it's never stoppin' 
BmTickin' like a bomb, bomb's away, we be droppin' 
F#mDowntown, dEown that road, dBmown on your luck 
N.C.
There's a story to be told 
And it's wF#mritten in the sEand 
BmIn the music of the shoreline band 
F#mCrazy fool, yEeah you keep cool, just 
BmScratchin' on your head, it's like you never knew this 
F#mBurnin' down the villages but nEever seem to notice 
BmCallin' up all the people only askin' for forgiveness 
F#mWhat are we gunna do right nEow 
SomeBmbody has got to show them how 
To sF#mtand their ground and do not run 
The bEattles only just begun 
Like the rBmising of the setting sun 
N.C.
This time you know there's only one, one 
[Chorus]
It's a F#mrising, rEising Bmtide 
It's a F#mrising, rEising Bmtide
AJust like the rEising tide is cBmoming after F#myou
AYou will be rEighted for aBmll the wrongs you F#mdo 
AOoooh OEooh OBmoh 
F#mAll the people say 
AOoooh EOooh OBmoh
