[Gm] [D]
[Dm] [Bb]
[Em] [Eb]
[D]
[Bb] Oh the world [Gm] is overburdened with [Dm] the idle [Bb] and the rich
[Eb] Basking in the sunshine [D] while we plod in the ditch
[Bb] But we will put some metal in their fingers and [Gm] their thumb
[C] But we'll turn things upside [Gm] down when the [D] revolution [F] comes
[Gm] Oh we'll turn things upside [C] down, turn things [B] upside down
I [G] wonder what has happened [A] when we turn things [Gm] upside down
[C] [Gm]
[C] [G] May living be awesome [Gm] and wondrous virtues may abound
Beneath rich scanty [Dm] flesh and pocket scanty fame
[Gb] And [E] maybe poverty is [F] best [Gm] if rightly understood
[Db] [C] But we'll turn things upside down because [D] we don't want to look [Gb] blue
We'll turn [C] things upside [Eb] down, [F] we'll turn things [Em] upside down
May [Eb] they thrive on their philosophy when we [Am] turn things [F] upside
[C] down
[Gm] [C] [Gm]
[C] [Gm] They've [C] never done it [Gm] strong in the nobility [C] of work
[Gm] [Eb] But they always take good [D] care, they're sure and loyal to [Gb] shirk
May they send [C] their sons and daughters [Gm] to a [C] workshop or a mill
[Gm] [Cm] Oh we'll turn things upside down, [D] we'll change their [Ebm] tunic world
Oh we'll turn things [Gm] upside down, [F] we'll turn things upside [Eb] down
They can practice all their preaching [Am] when we turn things [G] upside down
[Gm] [C] [Gm]
[C] [Gm]
[E] [Eb] [A]
[Gm] [C] [G]
[Gm] Living strange dimensions, a million [C] hovels long
Their lives are spent in leisure [D] and hours in chiller's toil
[G] They'll write [C] about the world, we'll [Gm] learn who they [C] were to once know
[Eb] But we'll turn things upside [D] down if our God isn't [G] known
[Gm]
[C] [Gm]
[G] Let us now support [Gm] the [Cm] cause, to overturn the whole [A] world into one and alone
[Gm] Let us [A] all together, [G] reach our shoulders [C] to the world
[Cm] And we'll turn things upside [D] down, all for the common weal
[G] And we'll turn things [C] upside down, [F] and we'll turn things upside [Eb] down
And life may be worth [A] living
[C] [G] We'll turn things upside [C] down, [Eb] gonna turn things [Gm] upside down
The world will be far better [Em] when we turn [D] things [F] upside [G] down
[Ab] [G] [D] [Ab]

[G]
