      A/F#             A        
I was walkin’ down the street  

       A                A       
In the town where I was born  

      A/F#        A        
I was movin’ to a beat  

     A               A      
That I’d never felt before  

      A/F#        A        
So I opened up my eyes  

      A            A      
And I took a look around  

         A/F#               A      
I saw it written ‘cross the sky  

        A/B           A      
The revolution starts now  
[Chorus]
Em             D            A    D  A
Yeah, the revolution starts now  
[Verse]
        A/F#          A      
The revolution starts now  

         A               A       
When you rise above your fear  

              A/F#            A      
And tear the walls around you down  

         A            A       
The revolution starts here  

          A/F#               A      
Where you work and where you play  

          A              A       
Where you lay your money down  

          A/F#           A      
What you do and what you say  

        A/B           A      
The revolution starts now  
[Chorus]
Em           D             A     D    A 
Yeah the revolution starts now  

Em           D             A 
Yeah the revolution starts now In your 

A/F#                 G       A 
own backyard In your own hometown  

Em                 D         A  
  What you doin’ standin’ around 

     A/F# 
Just follow your heart  

        G             A    
The revolution starts now  
[Solo] A/F# A A A A/F# A A A Em D A A A [Verse]
     A/F#          A      
Last night I had a dream  

         A                A       
That the world had turned around  

            A/F#              A      
And all our hopes had come to be  

        A                A       
And the people gathered ‘round  

         A/F#                    A 
They all brought what they could bring  

      A             A       
And nobody went without  

      A/F#              A      
And I learned a song to sing  

        A/B           A      
The revolution starts now  
[Chorus]
Em           D             A 
Yeah the revolution starts now In your 

A/F#                 G       A 
own backyard In your own hometown  

Em                   D         A  
  So  what you doin’ standin’ around 

     A/F# 
Just follow your heart  

        G             A    
The revolution starts now  

Em           D             A 
Yeah the revolution starts now In your 

A/F#                 G       A 
own backyard In your own hometown  

Em                  D         A  
Yeah what you doin’ standin’ around 

     A/F# 
Just follow your heart  

        G             A    
The revolution starts now  
Fade on A The A/B chord on the last line of the verse is an embellishment on my part. Not necesssary for the song.
