Hozier - Nina Cried Power: chords

                        Fm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
                         D#
It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin'
                         C#
It's not forgoin' of the lie
             G#           C
It's not the openin' of eyes
              A#m              Fm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

It's not the shade, we should be past it
It's the light, and it's the obstacle that casts it
It's the heat that drives the light
It's the fire it ignites
It's not the waking, it's the rising

It's not the song, it is the singing
It's the heaven of a human spirit ringing
It is the bringing of the line
It is the bearing of the rhyme
It's not the waking, it's the rising

Nina cried power

It's not the wall, but what's behind it
Oh, the fear of fellow man, it's mere assignment
And everything that we're denied
By keeping the divide
It's not the waking, it's the rising

Chorus:
And I could cry power (Power), power (Power)
Oh, power
Nina cried power

James Brown cried power
And I could cry (Power) power, (Power) power
Hey, power

Joni cried power
Nina cried power

                 Fm
And I could cry power
Power has been cried by those stronger than me
Straight into the face that tells you
                 C
to rattle your chains
                   Fm
If you love bein' free

Chorus:
But I could cry power (Power)
'Cause power is my love when my love reaches to me
James Brown cried power
Seeger cried power
Marvin cried power
Yeah ah, power
James cried power
Lennon cried power
Patti cried power
Billie, power
Dylan, power
Woody, power
Nina cried power
