Rise Up Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

The whole song is basically F (with a C in the bass) and C, with the F briefly

going to an F4 in the verse, and there's a G in the end of the chorus (exactly in

the word "told").

The little piano fill that introduces the song is A G E D C

I'm sure you'll figure out this song quite easily ;)

Why not say it Flike it is Fsus4 F

Like you know you Cshould

Before they break your Flittle heart Fsus4 F

Ooh, break it Cgood

Feelings on the inside

Never let you down

So why not say it like it is

Even if it don't make your mama proud

Why change your mind when you make it up

Second chances don't come easy, easy for some

Baby I don't know the lock from the key

But I know one of them is you

And the other one's me

So if it's Fhappiness you Cwant

FThat's what you'll Cget

You gotta Frise up, little sister

CTurn on the light

FWise up to the stories you've been Gtold

'Cause Flove don't come in black or white

Fsus4 F C

No no no no.

My mama tells me I won't get through the pearly gates

'Cause I ain't sorry for my sins

And all my mistakes

Mama I don't know if I'm goin' up or down,

But I know heaven's gonna be one lonely town

But if it's happiness you want,

That's what you'll get

You gotta rise up, little sister

Turn on the light

Wise up to the stories you've been told

'Cause love don't come in black or white

Whoa no no no, whooo no.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh (etc.)

Rise up, little sister

Turn on the light

Wise up to the stories you've been told

Whoaaa yeah

Rise up, little sister

Turn on the light

Wise up to the stories you've been told

'Cause love don't come in black or white

No no, it don't come in black or white

Whooa ooooh

Rise up, open your eyes

Love don't come in black or white

Whoa uh uh, no

Wise up to the stories you've been told

You know, love don't come in black or white

Little sister, you gotta rise up
