[Hook 1]
 
G          Cadd9  Em7           D Dsus4 D G
 Don't you know,  talking about a re - vo-lution
   Cadd9         Em7     D Dsus4 D
it sounds like a whisper
 
G          Cadd9  Em7           D Dsus4 D G
 Don't you know,  talking about a re - vo-lution
   Cadd9         Em7     D Dsus4 D
it sounds like a whisper
 
VERSE
 
              G               Cadd9        Em7  D Dsus4 D
While they're standing in the welfare lines
G             Cadd9              Em7       D Dsus4 D
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
G       Cadd9   Em7          D Dsus4 D
Wasting time in unemployment lines
G       Cadd9  Em7           D Dsus4 D
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
 
[Hook 1]
 
G          Cadd9  Em7           D Dsus4 D G
 Don't you know,  talking about a re - vo-lution
   Cadd9         Em7     D Dsus4 D
it sounds like a whisper
 
G                     Cadd9  Em7   D Dsus4 D     G
Poor people are gonna rise up  and get     their share
Cadd9       Em7     D Dsus4 D
 
G                     Cadd9  Em7  D Dsus4 D      G
Poor people are gonna rise up and take    what's theirs
Cadd9       Em7     D Dsus4 D
