 G          C
Don't you know
         Em              D    G
They're talkin' about a revolution
    C               Em   D
It sounds (like a whisper)

D               G              C          Em  D
While they're standing in the welfare lines
G              C                 Em            D
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
G        C          Em            D
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
G         C     Em               D
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't ya know?
They're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

G                          C

run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
G                     C
Oh I said you better run, run, run, run,
Em                   D              G      C Em D
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

G    C           Em          D           G
Cuz finally the tables are starting to turn
 C                  Em    D
Talkin' bout a revolution
G    C          Em           D          G
Cuz finally the tables are starting to turn
C                   Em     D    G
Talkin' bout a revolution hold on
C                   Em    D
Talkin' bout a revolution hooo
D               G              C       Em  D
While they're standing in the welfare lines
G              C                 Em            D
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
G        C          Em            D
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
G         C     Em               D
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't ya know?
They're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
