      A                       Asus2  A 
I was walkin? down the street  
       A                       Asus2  A 
In the town where I was born  
      A                Asus2  A 
I was movin? to a beat  
         A                 Asus2  A 
That I?d never felt before  
     A                 Asus2  A 
So I opened up my eyes  
      A                  Asus2  A 
And I took a look around  
          A                      Asus2  A 
I saw it written ?cross the sky  
    A                     Asus2  A 
The revolution starts now  
E              D            A    
Yeah, the revolution starts now  
 
 
The revolution starts now  
When you rise above your fear  
And tear the walls around you down  
The revolution starts here  
Where you work and where you play  
Where you lay your money down  
What you do and what you say  
The revolution starts now  
Yeah the revolution starts now  
 
 
Bridge: 
E            D             A 
Yeah the revolution starts now  
A 
In your own backyard  
A       E       A 
In your own hometown  
E                 D         A  
So what you doin? standin? around 
     A 
Just follow your heart  
        E             A    
The revolution starts now  
 
 
Last night I had a dream  
That the world had turned around  
And all our hopes had come to be  
And the people gathered ?round  
They all brought what they could bring  
And nobody went without  
And I learned a song to sing  
The revolution starts now
