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 A D F#m E
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)
