C                   G  
Talking about a revolution  
Am                     F  
Sounds like a whisper  
C                   G  
Talking about a revolution  
Am                   F  
Sounds like a whisper  

C                        G  
While they're standing in the welfare lines  
Am                       F  
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation  
C                   G  
Wasting time in the unemployment lines  
Am                       F  
Sitting around waiting for a promotion  

C                   G  
Don't you know, they're talking about a revolution  
Am                     F  
It sounds like a whisper  

C                       G  
Poor people gonna rise up  
Am                       F  
And get their share  
C                       G  
Poor people gonna rise up  
Am                       F  
And take what's theirs  

C                   G  
Talking about a revolution  
Am                     F  
It sounds like a whisper
