Talkin' Bout a Revolution

Tracy Chapman

Don't you know                  [Chorus]

They're talking about a revolution  (x2)

It sounds - Like a whisper

While they're standing           [Verse]

    in the welfare lines - …

Crying at the doorsteps

Of those armies of salvation

Wasting time - In the unemployment lines

Sittin' around

Waitin' for a promotion         [Chorus]

Poor people gonna rise up        [Intro]

And get their share    - … - …      (x2)

Poor people gonna rise up       E A C#m B

And take what's theirs - … - …

Don't you know you better (run x13) … …

Oh, I said you'd better (run x13) - … …

('Cause) finally the tables     [Bridge]

Are starting to turn

(Talkin' bout a revolution - (…) x1)

[Bridge] (Yes) (Hold on/Ho) (x2) [Verse]

[Chorus] [Bridge]  (And) () (x1)

[Bridge] (Yes) (Hold on)    (x3)
