Revolution
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
[Verse 1]
Am G Am
Wake up boys there's a light at the window,
C G Am
I can hear someone knocking on the door,
Am
There are voices in the street,
D
And the sound of running feet,
F G Am
And they whisper the word: "Revolution"
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
There are men coming down from the valleys,
C G Am
There are tall ships lying off the coast,
D
And they carry the light,
C
In the dark of the night,
F G Am
Like a whisper in the wind - Revolution!
[Verse 3]
Am G Am
Bring my gun and a handful of silver,
C G Am
By the sea we will gather for the fight,
Am
It's been so many years,
D
So many tears,
F G
We have lost once before,
F G7
Now we settle to the score,
F G Am
When our cannons will roar - Revolution!
