C# (x43121@1)             F# (244322@1)        C#It's (x43121@1)coming through a hole in the air,
           C# (x43121@1)      Ab (xx1114@1)      C#from (x43121@1)those nights in Tiananmen Square.
       F#It's (244322@1)coming from the feel
          B (x2444x@1)           F#that (244322@1)this ain't exactly real,
         C# (x43121@1)        Ab (xx1114@1)          C#or (x43121@1)it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
          FFrom (133211@1)the wars against disorder,
          Bbmfrom (x13321@1)the sirens night and day,
          Ffrom (133211@1)the fires of the homeless,
          Bbmfrom (x13321@1)the ashes of the gay:
    Ab (xx1114@1)            F# (244322@1)         C#Democracy (x43121@1)is coming   to the U.S.A.

C# (x43121@1)           F# (244322@1)          C#It's (x43121@1)coming through a  crack in the wall;
     C# (x43121@1)      Ab (xx1114@1)     C#on (x43121@1)a visionary flood of alcohol;
         F#from (244322@1)the staggering account
       B (x2444x@1)           F#of (244322@1)the Sermon on the Mount
         C# (x43121@1)            Ab (xx1114@1)          C#which (x43121@1)I don't pretend to understand at all.
      FIt's (133211@1)coming from the silence
       Bbmon (x13321@1)the   dock of the bay,
         Ffrom (133211@1)the brave, the bold, the battered
         Bbmheart (x13321@1)of   Chevrolet:
    Ab (xx1114@1)            F# (244322@1)         C#Democracy (x43121@1)is coming   to the U.S.A.

C# (x43121@1)          F# (244322@1)           C#It's (x43121@1)coming from the sorrow in the street,
     C# (x43121@1)       Ab (xx1114@1)            C#the (x43121@1)holy places where the races meet;
         F#from (244322@1)the homicidal bitchin'
          B (x2444x@1)           F#that (244322@1)goes down in every kitchen
      C# (x43121@1)            Ab (xx1114@1)               C#to (x43121@1)determine who will serve and who will eat.
          FFrom (133211@1)the wells of disappointment
          Bbmwhere (x13321@1)the women kneel to pray
        Ffor (133211@1)the grace of God in the desert here
        Bbmand (x13321@1)the desert far away:
    Ab (xx1114@1)            F# (244322@1)         C#Democracy (x43121@1)is coming   to the U.S.A.
