Chris de Burgh – The Revolution Trilogy (Guitar)

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

       C             G                Am
I can hear someone knocking on the door,

           Am
There are voices in the street,

         D
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,

          Am
And they carry the light,

        D
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,

           Am             
It's been so many years, 

 D
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        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        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!

 A
Roll away the dawn,

 A                             Bm
Roll away the dawn and let me see,

                  E
The land of the free,

               A
Has anything changed at all,

  A
Sweet liberty,

  A                      Bm
Sweet liberty is in our hands,

                   E
It's part of the plan,

             F G     A
Or is it a state of mind? 

 A
Horses and men,

 A                         Bm
Horses and men are on the field,

             E
They didn't yield,

           A
Many have fallen here,

 A
Never forget,

 A                           Bm
Never forget what they have done,

               E
The time will come,

               F G    A
When it will change again,

          Am F Am E
Never forget!
