C#m There's a man who sees all there is to see What the future holds for all As the days grow dark, was his sole and final warning Beware of the one with invisible friends They will steal into your mind And all too soon, the signs begin to show Chorus: C#m F# B Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again C#m Fools again As the page is turned and the story's told From the visions he had seen The house on the hill with the haunting eyes that call No one left when madness came out To play its game If you stay too long, you'll finally go insane Chorus: Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Fools again G#m D#m Bells will take their toll E On your way There's no way we're born to shine Before our time, all your life, you're On your own Lonely road Lost in a time Let the light lead your way To the golden throne It's the only way Chorus: Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Oh rise up, to the shining Wise up, they're gonna steal your mind Rise up, the house is gonna haunt you No one laughed, no one cried You stayed too long You're finally gonna stay You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#m  D#m  E  F#  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
