[Em] The wands of [Am] smoke are rising [D] from the walls of [G] the Bastille
[C] And through the [A] streets of Paris [D] runs the sense of [B] the unreal
[Em] The kings of [Am] all departed, [D] their servants are [G] nowhere
[C] We burned out [A] all their mansions [D] in the name of [B] Robespierre
And [C] still we wait [D] to [G] see the day to get [C] our time
_ [D] It's [G] wasting in the wind, [B] wondering why, [C] _ [B] wondering why
[C] It echoes [E] through the lovely [B] palace of [Em] the sun
[C] [F#] Inside [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _
[B] _ _ [Em] _ [B] _ [Em] the [Am] midnight council, [D] the lamps are [G] burning low
[Em] Oh, you sit and talk [Am] all through the night, [D] but there's just no [B] place to go
[Em] _ [Am] Bonaparte is coming [D] with his army [G] from the south
Mariah's days [Am] are numbered, [D] and we live [B] hand to mouth
[C] While we wait [D] to [G] see the day begin
[C] Hot time [D] is [G] wasting in the wind, [B] wondering why, [C] _
[B] wondering why
[C] It echoes [Em] through the lonely [B] palace of [Em] the sun

Ghost of [C] revolution [D] still crawls the [G] Paris streets
[C] Down all the [Am] restless centuries [D] it wanders [B] incomplete
[Em] It speaks [Am] inside the cheap red [D] wine of café [G] summer nights
[C] It's red and [A] amber [Am] voices [D] call the cars of [B] traffic lights
Why [C] do you wait [D] to [G] see the [D] day [G] begin?
[C] Your time _ [D] is [G] wasting in the wind, [B] wondering why, [C] _ [B] wondering why
[C] It echoes [E] through the lonely [B] palace of [Em] the sun _ _ _
