The key of the track is E minor.

[Intro]
   Em
Whoever can string the old king's bow
    G
And shoot though twelve axes cleanly
     Em
Will be the new king, 

Sit down at the throne
  G
Penelope as his queen
Em
Where is he?
               B
Where is the man who can 

String this bow, woah?
 
 
[Verse]
  Em                    
Screw this competition, 
B
We've been here for hours
G                           
None of us can string this, 
Am
We don't have the power
  Em                      
Screw this damn challenge, 
B
 No more delays
G                              B
Can't you guys see we're being played?
 
This is how they
 
 
[Chorus]
Em
(Hold us down) while the throne gets colder
B7
(Hold us down) while we slowly age
G                      D
Hold us down while the boy gets bolder
Am           Bm          C             B7
Where in the hell is our pride and our rage?
Em
(Here and now) there's a chance for action
B7
(Here and now) we can take control
G                     D
Here and now, burn it down to ashes
Am          Bm      C        B7
Channel the fire inside your soul
 
 
[Verse]
Em Em Em
         Haven't you noticed who's missing?
B B B
      Don't you know the prince is not around
Em           D    C          B
I heard he's on a diplomatic mission
    Am        Bm     C             B7
And I heard today he comes back to town, so
Em
I say we gather near the beaches
B
I say we wait 'til he arrives
Em            D         C       
Then, when he docks his ship, 
       B
We can breach it
Am           Bm     C          B7
Let us leave now, today we can strike and
 
 
[Chorus]
Em
(Hold him down) 'til the boy stops shaking
B7
(Hold him down) while I slit his throat
G                     D
Hold him down while I slowly break his
Am         Bm         C              B7
Pride, his trust, his faith, and his bones
Em
(Cut him down) into tiny pieces
B7
(Throw him down) in the great below
G                      D
When the crown wonders where the prince is
Am       Bm        C      B7
Only the ocean and I will know!
 
 
[Bridge]
C            B
And when the deed is done
B7            Em
The queen will have no one to
C                        B
Stop us from breaking her bedroom door
C                       B
Stop us from taking her love and more...
 
And then we'll
 
 
[Chorus]
Em
(Hold her down) 
while her gate is open
Em
(Hold her down) 
while I get a taste
Em
(Hold her down) 
while we share her spoils
Am         Bm      C          B7
I will not let any part go to waste
C                       B7
(Here and now there's a chance for action) 
Chance for action!
Em                   D
(Here and now we can take control) 
Take control!
C                      B7
(Here and now, burn it down to ashes)
Am          Bm      C        B7
Channel the fire inside your soul, and
 
 
[Outro]
Em               B7
(Hold them down! Hold them down!) 
Hold them down, Oh!
G                D
(Hold them down! Hold them down!)
Em               B7
(Hold them down! Hold them down!) 
Hold them down!
Am          Bm      C        B7
Channel the fire inside your soul, and-
