Capo 2 
 
      A5                       A5  A5 
I was walkin? down the street  
       A5                       A5  A5 
In the town where I was born  
      A5                A5  A5 
I was movin? to a beat  
         A5                 A5  A5 
That I?d never felt before  
     A5                 A5  A5 
So I opened up my eyes  
      A5                  A5  A5 
And I took a look around  
          A5                      A5  A5 
I saw it written ?cross the sky  
    A5                     A5  A5 
The revolution starts now  
E5              D5            A5    
Yeah, the revolution starts now  
 
The revolution starts now  

When you rise above your fear  

And tear the walls around you down  

The revolution starts here  

Where you work and where you play  

Where you lay your money down  

What you do and what you say  

The revolution starts now  

Yeah the revolution starts now  
 
Bridge: 
E5            D5             A5 
Yeah the revolution starts now  
A5 
In your own backyard  
A5       E5       A5 
In your own hometown  
E5                 D5         A5  
So what you doin? standin? around 
     A5 
Just follow your heart  
        E5             A5    
The revolution starts now  
 
 
Last night I had a dream  
That the world had turned around  
And all our hopes had come to be  
And the people gathered ?round  
They all brought what they could bring  
And nobody went without  
And I learned a song to sing  
The revolution starts now
