Wake Up the King

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 2:

How many times have you found yourself under the influence?

How many times has a mirror made you cry?

Now it's time to stand upright

Tear down your inner door!

The birth of yourself can¥t wait no more...

G5 B5

In your mind there's a battle raging on

G5 A5

try to find what your fighting for!

There's plenty of work to do on this one, perhaps someone else will feel

inspired to continue?
