Rise Up! Take it to the Streets

A song inspired by the courageous uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya - and Madison, Wisconsin. Common people rising up and demanding their fundamental human rights.

Tyrants just can't stop them, people got to be free! Rise up!!!

Great song! Post lyrics/chords so others can cover it!

@xianificent The lyrics are posted on Sonicbids (look for Rantcaster). I am quite musically illiterate re chords, etc., but the song is played in DADGAD tuning, and just three chords: Dm, F, G.

FYI, this song has been picked up by the NY City Labor Chorus, and will be performed at Town Hall in NY on Nov. 5 by a 75-person chorus representing many of the labor unions in NY City. Perhaps the next anthem for a resurgent labor movement in America (:-)

@ashutoshmikku Glad you enjoyed this. The movement needs musical inspiration, and I am honored to contribute in my small way.

@whitestboyalive1 Thanks for your very nice compliment! I am now finishing up another tune - "Occupy America" - which I hope to post in a few days. Then heading to NY for the real deal. Solidarity, indeed!
