Democracy

Key: AHard

F#m

It's cAoming through a hDole in the aAir

FArom those nights in TiaDnanmen SqAuare

It's coDming from the feel that tDmhis ain't exactly real

Or it's reAal, but it ain't exactly there

From the wCars against disorder

From the sF#mirens night and day

From the fCires of the homeless

From the aF#mshes of the gay

DemEocracy is comingD to the UASA

IAt's coming through a Dcrack in the wAall

AOn a visionary flDood of alcAohol

From the staDggering account of the SeDmrmon on the Mount

Which I doAn't pretend to understand at all

It's coCming from the silence on the F#mdock of the bay

From the bCrave, the bold, the battered F#mheart of Chevrolet

DeEmocracy is comingD to the UASA

IAt's coming from the soDrrow in the stAreet

TAhe holy places whDere the races mAeet

From the hDomicidal bitchin'

That goes dDmown in every kitchen

To detAermine who will serve and who will eat

From the wCells of disappointment

Where the F#mwomen kneel to pray

For the gCrace of God in the desert here

And the F#mdesert far away

DEemocracy is comingD to the UASA

Sail Eon, sail oDn

O miAghty ship of state

To the shEores of need

Past the reDefs of greed

Through the sqAualls of hate

Sail Bmon, sail Eon, sail DonA

AIt's coming to AmDerica fiArst

The craAdle of the bDest, of the woArst

It's hDere they've got the range

And the mDmachinery for change

And it's hAere they've got the spiritual thirst

It's hCere the family's broken

And it's F#mhere the lonely say

That the hCeart has got to open

In a fF#mundamental way

DEemocracy is comingD to the UASA

It's coAming from the wDomen and the mAen

Oh bAaby, we'll be Dmaking love agAain

WeD'll be going down so deep

That the rDmiver's going to weep

And the mouAntain's gonna shout "Amen"

It's coCming like the tidal flood bF#meneath the lunar sway

ImCperial, mysterious, in aF#mmorous array

DeEmocracy is comingD to the UASA

Sail Eon, sail oDn

O miAghty ship of state

To the shEores of need

Past the rDeefs of greed

Through the sqAualls of hate

Sail Bmon, sail Eon, sail DonA

I'm seAntimental, if you knDow what I mAean

Oh, I lAove the country, but I cDan't stand the sAcene

And I'm neDither left or right, I'm just sDmtaying home tonight

Getting lAost in that hopeless little screen

But I'm stCubborn as those garbage bags thatF#m time cannot decay

I'm jCunk, but I'm still holding up this lF#mittle wild bouquet

DEemocracy is coming to,D to the UASA

G9Em7C9

G9 Oh the time will come D9up when the Cwinds will G9stop

And the Em7breeze will C9cease to be G9a-breathin

Like the stillness in the D9wind before the Churricane G9begins,

The hour that the C9ship comes G9in

And the D9sea will Csplit and the G9ships will hit

And the D9sands on the Cshoreline will be G9shaking

And the D9tide will Csound and the G9waves will pound

And the Em7morning C9will be D9a-brCeakG9ing

G9 Oh the fishes will D9laugh as they Cswim out of the G9path

And the Em7seagulls C9they will be a-G9smilin'

And the rocks on the D9sand will Cproudly G9stand

The hour that the C9ship comes G9in

And the D9words that are Cused for to G9get the ship confused

Will noD9t be understCood as they'rG9e spoken

Oh the D9chains of the Csea will have G9busted in the night

And be Em7buried on the C9bottom of the D9ooooCooceG9an

G9C9G9

Em7C9G9

D9CG9

C9DG9

G9 A song will D9lift as the Cmain sail G9shifts

And the Em7boat driftC9s unto the G9shoreline

And the sun will rD9espect every Cface on the G9deck

The hour that the C9ship comes G9in

And the D9sands will Croll out a G9carpet of gold

For youD9r wearied toCes to be G9a-touchin'

And the D9ship's wise Cmen will G9remind you once again

That the Em7whole wide wC9orld is D9waaaCaatchG9in'

G9 Oh the foes will D9rise with the sleCep still in their G9eyes

And they'll Em7jerk from their C9beds and think they'rG9e dreamin'

But they'll pD9inch themselves and Csqueal

And they'll G9know that it's for real,

The hour that the C9ship comes G9in

And they'll D9raise their Chands, Sayin' we'll G9meet all you demands

But we'll D9shout from the Cbow, Your days are G9numbered

And like D9Pharoah's Ctribe they'll be G9drownded in the tide

And like Em7Goliath C9they'll be D9cooooConqueG9red

Cleopatra Acoustic Demo (acoustic)

Key: GEasy

GI was Cleopatra

GI was young and an actress

Gand you knelt by my mattress

and asked for my Dhand

GAnd I was sad you asked it

Gas I laid in a black dress

Gwith my father in a casket

I had no Dplans

(yea)

GAnd I left the footprints

The mud Cstained on the Gcarpet

Gand it hardened like my heart did

when you left Dtown

GBut I must admit it

that I would Cmarry you in an Ginstant

GDamn your wife, I'd be your mistress

just to have you Daround

But I was Glate for Dthis

CLate for Gthat

CLate for the Glove of myD life

When GI die Dalone

When CI die Galone

When IC die GI'll be onD time

(DayGe)

GAnd the Church discouraged

any lCust that burned wiGthin me

GYes my flesh it was my currency

but I held Dout

GWhen a man's dejected

well he can Cfight for your Gaffections

Gor he can act like he never met you

and even go to the Dground

But I was Glate for Dthis

LCate for Gthat

LaCte for the lGove of mDy life

And when GI die Dalone

When CI die Galone

When I Cdie GI'll be on Dtime

(DayGe)

GSo I drive a taxi

and the Ctraffic distGracts me

Gfrom the strangers in my backseat

They remind me of Dyou

GBut it's all a daydream

when it's Cyou who's behGind me

Gbut you never recognize me

appraising Dyou

EmAnd the only gifts from my GLord

were a Cbirth Dand a Gdivorce

but I've Emread this script

and the Ccostume Gfits

Cso I Gplay my Dpart

GAnd there are nights I wake up

to the Csound of a dGoor shut

Gand I search on the floor but

I find no Dtracks

GAnd the nurse in white shoes

leads me Cback to my Gguest room

Git's a bed and a bathroom

and a place to Drelax

but I was Glate for Dthis

Clate for Gthat

Clate for the Glove of mDy life

When GI die Dalone

When CI die Galone

When CI die I'll Gbe on Dtime
