(C major)
Verse 1
It's (C major) coming through a (F major) hole in the (C major) air
From those nights in (G major) Tiananmen Square
(C major) It's (F major) coming from the feel
That this (B flat major) ain't exactly (F major) real
Or it's (C major) real, but it ain't ex (G major) actly there (C major)
From the (E major) war against disorder
From the sirens (Esus4) night and day
(A minor) From the fires (E major) of the homeless
From the (Esus4) ashes of the gay (A minor)
Demo (G major) cracy is coming (F major) to the USA
(C major)

It's coming (C major) through a (F major) crack in the wall (C major)
On a visionary flood (G major) of al (C major) cohol
From the stag (F major) gering account
Of the Ser (B flat major) mon on the Mount
(F major) Which I don't (C major) pretend to

Verse 3
It's (C major) coming from the sor
(F major) row in the street (C major)
The holy places (G major) where
the races meet (C major)
From the hom (F major) icidal bitchin'
That goes (B flat major) down in every
kit (F major) chen
To determine (C major) who will
serve (F major) and who will (C major) eat
From the wells (E major) of disappointment

And the desert (A minor) far away

The cradle of the (G major) best and of the wor (C major) st
It's (F major) here they got the range

And it's here (C major) they got
the spir (F major) itual thirst (C major)
It's (E major) here the family's broken
And it's (Esus4) here the lonely say
(A minor) That the heart (E major) has got to open
In a fun (Esus4) dament (A minor) al way
Demo (G major) cracy is coming (F major) to the USA
(G major) (C major)

It's (C major) coming from the (F major) wo

Oh baby, we'll be (G major) mak
ing love again (C major)
We'll be (F major) go ing down so deep
The river's (B flat major) going to weep (F major)
And the moun (C major) tain's going to shout,

It's (E major) coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the (A minor) lunar sway
Imper (E major) ial, mysterious

I'm sentimental, (C major) if you (F major) know what I mean (C major)

And I'm (F major) neither left or right
I'm just stay (B flat major) ing home tonight
(F major) Getting lost (C major) in that (F major) hopeless
little screen (C major)
But I'm stub (E major) born as
those garbage bags
That time cannot decay (A minor)
I'm junk (E major) but I'm still holding up
this (F major) little wild (A minor) bouquet
Demo (G major) cracy is coming (F major)
to the USA (C major) (F minor)
