Intro: 
Em Em Am Em 

            Em 
I hear her voice 
              Em 
She calls to me 
              Am 
I know she's near me 
              Em 
But I cannot see 

                Em 
Through prison walls 
              Em 
That come between 
                Am             Bm 
Her dreams of freedom and the real world 
           C             D 
Where her face is never seen 

Bm              Em        C    Bm    D 
All the king's horses and all his men 
     D      B       Em             C     Bm  Am  A    D 
Are fearful of the power that can come from book and pen 
    Am                C                D 
And all the changes there that can be found 
     Am         C              D 
And far away I hear a distant sound 
                    E     Em  C D 
It's rolling like thunder 

      G                D 
Oh, shout it from the highest window 
  Em              C 
Break down every door 
     G                   D          C 
And tell them you won't take it anymore 
  G                 D             Em                C 
Show that you will never spend a lifetime on your knees 
     G                 D             F C G 
Rise up and catch the Keeper of the Keys 

Em                Em                 Am 
Oh, what ancient words can hold her here 
                 Em 
But she's never heard 
             Em               Em 
By men who claim the higher ground 
                Am               Bm 
It was always there for them to have and hold 
       C             D 
Where woman's never found 

Bm          Em              C   Bm  D 
All of the holy men who are at her door 
      D          B         Em            C   Bm Am A D 
Are frightened that their power will be lost forevermore 
     Am               C               D 
If she believes her freedom's on the way 
      Am                C            D 
And still it's getting louder every day 
               C    D C 
The sound of thunder 

D     G                D 
Oh, shout it from the highest window 
  Em              C 
Break down every door 
     G                   D          C 
And tell them you won't take it anymore 
  G                 D             Em                C 
Show that you will never spend a lifetime on your knees 
     G                 D             C         G D Em C G D C 
Rise up and catch the Keeper of the Keys, rise up! 

 G                  D             Em                C 
Tell them you will never spend a lifetime on your knees 
              G                  D             C 
And when you catch and kill the Keeper of the Keys 
              G D C 
You will be free! 
              G D C 
You will be free! 
              G D C 
You will be free! 
              G 
You will be free...
