[Verse 1]
Am               G
-- He's a leader - talks of freedom
F                            Em
-- He knows the power of the Big Idea
Am               G
-- He's a dealer - he's a seeker
F                    Em
-- Of the power that comes from fear
Am                         G
-- He gave his life to the party machine
F                  Em
-- Holding on to a secret dream
Am                 G
-- He knows better than anyone
F                       Em
-- Power comes from the barrel of a gun
                Am                    G
Of a gun - Of a gun - Of a gun - Of a gun
                F                     Em
Of a gun - Of a gun - Of a gun - Of a gun


[Pre-Chorus]
         Am     G    F          Em
And he's rising up against them now
         Am     G     F           Em
And he's rising up in country and town
         Am     G    F           Em
And he's Rising up - rising up


[Chorus]
        F           C       Dm        C
The revolution will eat its children
          F        C          Dm
I see the river of dreams run dry
       F        C        Dm        C
I'm so thankful I got to love you
           F      C    Dm
You're the reason I survive

[Verse 2]
Am             G           F              Em
-- The promise of a better life for all
Am             G               F          Em
-- The promise of freedom from hunger and war
Am         G          F                Em
-- So many rose up to answer the call
Am             G             F            Em
-- And so many are no longer here at all
Am              G              F               Em
-- The hopes of yesterday drowning in shifting sands
Am                  G                F             Em
-- 'Cause something strange is going on across the land


[Bridge]
Am           G         F        Em
-- Preaching water but drinking wine
Am       G       F     Em
-- Power gets us every time
Am                 G
-- The more things change
    F                  Em
The more they stay the same


[Pre-Chorus]
            Am     G    F         Em
And they're rising up against him now
            Am     G     F           Em
And they're rising up in country and town
            Am     G   F           Em
And they're rising up, rising up

I see the river of dreams run dry
       F        C        Dm        C
I'm so thankful I got to love you
           F      C    Dm
You're the reason I survive

I'm so thankful I got to love you
           F      C    Dm
You're the reason I survive

Am                G
Till the promised country
F                 Em
Till the promised country
