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



G            C  
Don't you know  
        Em               D   G  
They're talkin' about a revolution  
   C              Em   D  
It sounds (like a whisper)
G           C              Em  
Poor people gonna rise up  
D             G     C  Em  D  
And get their share  
G           C          Em  
Poor people gonna rise up  
D               G     C  Em  D  
And take what's theirs  



G                         C                                       
Don't you know you better run, run, run, run,
Em                  D              G         
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
C     Em   D



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