Intro:

Am F Am

Am Dm Am

Am F Am

Am G Am

Wake up boys, there's a light at the window,

C G Am

I can hear someone knocking on the door,

There are voices in the street,

And the sound of running feet,

F G Am

And they whisper the word, revolution!

Am G Am

There are men coming down from the valleys,

C G Am

There are tall ships lying off the coast,

And they carry the light,

In the dark of the night,

F G Am

Like a whisper in the wind, revolution!

Am G Am

Bring my gun and a handful of silver,

C G Am

By the sea we will gather for the fight,

It's been so many years,

So many tears,

F G

We have lost once before,

Am G

Now we'll settle the score,

F D Am

When our cannons will roar, revolution!!!!!

Am F C G

Am G C F

Watch and wait, get ready for the sign,

C F E

There are many here among us now who have not seen the light,

Am G C F

We must send the word to all the people in the land,

C F E

Go to every hill and mountain for the time is now at hand,

Am F G

To light a fire!

Am F G

Light a fire!

Am F G

Light a fire!

Am F C G

Am G C F

Let us march the road up the rocky hill tonight,

C F E

Under cover of the darkness we will slip behind the lines,

Am G C F

And we will take the men who have stolen our land,

C F E

For the years of domination, hit them right between the eyes,

Am F G

To light a fire!

Am F G

Light a fire!

Am F G

Light a fire!

Am F C G

They will see through the world!

Am F C G

Am G C F

C F E

Am G C F

C F E

Am F G

Am F G Am

Roll away the dawn,

A Bm

Roll away the dawn and let me see,

The land of the free,

Has anything changed at all,

Sweet liberty,

A Bm

Sweet liberty is in our hands,

It's part of the plan,

F G A

Or is it a state of mind?

Horses and men,

A Bm

Horses and men are on the field,

They didn't yield,

Many have fallen here,

Never forget,

A Bm

Never forget what they have done,

The time will come,

F G A

When it will change again,

Am F Am E

Never forget!

Am F Am E

F G A

Am Am F

Am Dm E
