Am F Am 

         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 F C G 
Am F C G 

        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!
