Revolution Chords by Dick Gaughan

I come like a comet new born, like the sun that arises at morning.
I come like the [C] furious tempest that follows the [G] thunderclouds warning.
I come like the fiery lava from cloud covered mountains volcanic.
I come like a storm from the north that the oceans await to inflame. _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ [Eb] I [F] come because Chirin me [Eb] planted my seed in [F] the hot desert [Bb] sand.
[Eb] I come [D] because masters [Bb] of [Eb] Kindle fly fury [D] with [F] every command.
[Eb] I [F] come because [Bb] man cannot [Eb] murder the [F] life giving [Bb] seed in his [Eb] veins.
[D] I come because liberty [Eb] cannot forever [F] be fettered by chains.
[G] I come because [C] tyrants [G] imagine that mankind is only the throne.
I come because [F] peace has been [Eb] nourished by [Dm] bullets and cannon [G] alone.
I come because one world is true and we face one another [Dm] with rage.
[Bb] I come [D] because gods have [C] been posed [Eb] to trick the [F] child to hope [C] of the [G] age.
_ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] [Bb] But merriest [F] times the [C] old pest have awaked me [G] and called me to lead them.
I guided them out of [F] enslavement [Am] and brought them to high roads [Bb] of freedom.
[C] I marched at the head [Dm] of their [Am] legions and hailed the new [Bb] world at its [Gm] birth.
And now I shall [F] march with the [C] peoples until they [Bb] have tethered the [Eb] earth [F] and you.
I, a sanctified, [Bb] money [Eb]-backed, bandit, [F] son of incident [Bb] crown.
[Eb] Your [Dm] counterfeit towers of [Eb] justice and [D] ethics will [F] crash to the [Eb] ground.
I'll [F] send my good [Bb] sword through your [Eb] hearts that will [F] drain the [Bb] world's blood and their [Eb] lust.
[D] Smash all your crowns and [Bb] your scepters [Eb] and [D] trample them into [F] the dust.
[Gm] I'll rip off your rich purple garments and tear them to rags and to shreds.
And never again [C] will the [Eb] debater be [C] able to [Dm] turn people's [Gm] heads.
At last your cold world will be robbed of its proud [D] hypocritical [Bb] glow.
For we shall dissolve it [C] assuredly [Eb] as sunlight [F] dissolves [C] the deep snow.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ I'll break down [D] your cobweb [G] morality, shatter the old chain [D] of lies.
[G] And catch all [Eb] your black [D]-hooded features [Eb] and choke them [Bb] as though they [Dm] were flies.
[G] I'll put a quick end [Dm] to your [G] heavens and your gods that are [Dm] yet to all [G] perish.
I'll [Eb] scatter your [D] defiled [Eb] spirits in [Bb] pain of [Dm] the earth and [Gm] the air.
And though you may choke me and shoot me and hang me, your toil is in vain.
No dungeon, no camels, no [Eb] scary, no over [Gm]-night, it's right [D] as a fine [Gm] thing.
Each time [C] I'll arise from [G] here and break through all your [D] weapons [Bb] of doom.
Until you [D] are finished [Gm] forever.
[Eb] Until you [F] are lost [C] in the _ thruth.
