[Intro]
Cm Cm Cm Ab Gm x2

[Verse 1]
Cm                             Cm
 Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights
Cm                        Ab           Gm
 Stand the heroes waiting for your cries
Cm                         Cm
 So many times you did not bring this on yourself
Cm
When that moment finally comes
Ab               Gm
I'll be there to help


[Hook]
Cm               Ab
On that day when you need
     Gm           Cm
Your brothers and sisters to care
Ab             Gm
I'll be right here


[Chorus]

Citizen soldiers
Ab          Bb            Cm
Holding the light for the ones that we guide
         Ab        Bb
From the dark of despair
Cm                        Ab           Bb
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
      Cm
We'll always be ready

Because we will always be there


[Verse 2]
Cm                            Cm
 When there are people crying in the streets
Cm                          Ab         Gm
 When they're starving for a meal to eat
Cm                       Cm
 When they simply need a place to make their beds
Cm
Right here underneath my wing
Ab                Gm
You can rest your head


[Hook]
Cm               Ab
On that day when you need

I'll be right here

Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered

[Verse 3]
Cm                  Ab
 Hope and pray that you'll never need me
    Cm                  Ab
But rest assured I will not let you down
Cm                       Ab
I'll walk beside you but you may not see me
     Cm                     Ab
The strongest among you may not wear a crown


[Hook]
Cm               Ab
On that day when you need
     Gm           Cm
Your brothers and sisters to care
Ab             Gm
I'll be right here


[Hook 2]
Cm                   Ab              Bb
On that day when you don't have the strength
        Cm
For the burden you bear
Ab             Bb
I'll be right here
