Revolution

Guitar Chords posted by Ira Leventhal 7/24/2010
Key:  Am  
AmAutumn raised her dying head 
And Fto her frightened troops she said 
"Don't Emourn for me but E7save your strength for Amwinter
And Amif by chance you should survive 
And Fif by Spring you're still alive 
ReEmember me, reE7member how we Amstruggled"
Her Dmtattered army broke and ran 
A Cdarkness C/Bfell upAmon the land
FSilently we Ebowed beE7neath the Amsnowfall 
F E E7 Am
Winter came to claim her throne 
She turned the heart of Earth to stone 
Not one of us dared raise his voice against her 
Winter's reign was long and cruel 
But we grew hard each day she ruled 
Each frozen night seemed to last forever 
She grew barren in her ancient age 
And bitter in her twisted rage 
Too blind to see the seeds of revolution 
Underground the rebels schemed 
In secret all our children dreamed 
Patiently we waited for our moment 
When at last the time was right 
We rose up from the dead of night 
And with the light of day we defied her 
Her screaming voice howled and cracked 
But nothing now could turn us back 
And with the Spring Winter was defeated 
Free at last the Earth rejoiced 
Everywhere we heard the voice 
Of Freedom ringing out across the land 
How we toiled with Spring's first rush 
But with the Summer we grew lush 
And lazy in the warmth of the season 
It's all too easy to forget 
Winter's touch as cold as Death 
We all believe the Summer lasts forever 
It's all too easy to forget 
Winter's touch as cold as Death 
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
F E E7 Am

Key:

Autumn raised her dying head

And to her frightened troops she said

E E7 Am

"Don't mourn for me but save your strength for winter

And if by chance you should survive

And if by Spring you're still alive

E E7 Am

Remember me, remember how we struggled"

Her tattered army broke and ran

C C/B Am

A darkness fell upon the land

F E E7 Am

Silently we bowed beneath the snowfall

F E E7 Am

Winter came to claim her throne

She turned the heart of Earth to stone

Not one of us dared raise his voice against her

Winter's reign was long and cruel

But we grew hard each day she ruled

Each frozen night seemed to last forever

She grew barren in her ancient age

And bitter in her twisted rage

Too blind to see the seeds of revolution

Underground the rebels schemed

In secret all our children dreamed

Patiently we waited for our moment

When at last the time was right

We rose up from the dead of night

And with the light of day we defied her

Her screaming voice howled and cracked

But nothing now could turn us back

And with the Spring Winter was defeated

Free at last the Earth rejoiced

Everywhere we heard the voice

Of Freedom ringing out across the land

How we toiled with Spring's first rush

But with the Summer we grew lush

And lazy in the warmth of the season

It's all too easy to forget

Winter's touch as cold as Death

We all believe the Summer lasts forever

It's all too easy to forget

Winter's touch as cold as Death

We all believe the Summer lasts forever

F E E7 Am
