(D major)
Verse 1
It's (D major) coming through a hole (G major) in the (D major) air,
From those nights in (A major)
Tienanmen Square. (D major)
It's (G major) coming from the feel
That this (C major) ain't exactly (G major) real,
Or it's (D major) real, but it ain't exactly there.
From the (F sharp major) wars against disorder,
From the sirens (B minor) night and (F sharpsus4) day,
From the (F sharp major) fires of the homeless,
From the (B minor) ashes of the gay,
Demo (A major) cracy is coming (G major) to the U.S.A.

Verse 2
(D major) It's coming through a crack in the wall,
On a visionary flood of (G minor) alcohol,
From the staggering account
Of the Sermon on the Mount
Which I don't pretend to un
(D major) derstand at all.
It's coming (G minor) from the silence
On the dock of the bay,
From the brave, (Edim) (D major) the bold,
the battered
Heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Verse 3
It's (D major) coming from the sorrow (G major) in the street,
(D major) The holy places (A major) where the races (D major) meet,
From the (G major) homicidal bitching
That goes (C major) down in every (G major) kitchen
To de (D major) termine who will serve
and who will eat.
From the (F sharp major) wells of disappointment
Where the (B minor) women kneel to pray
For the (F sharp major) grace of God in the desert here
And the (B minor) desert far away,
Demo (A major) cracy is coming (G major) to

Sail on, (A major) sail on (G major)
Oh (D major) mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores (A major) of Need
Past the (G major) Reefs of Greed

Sail (E minor) (A major) on, sail (E minor) (A major) on, sail (G major) on, sail (D major) on.
Verse 5
(D major)
It's coming to America (G major) first,
(D major) The cradle of the best and of the worst.
(A major) It's here they got the (D major) range
And the ma (G major) chinery for change
And it's (C major) here (G major) they (D major) got
the spiritual thirst. (F sharp major)
It's here the family's broken
(B minor) And it's here the lonely say
That the heart (F sharp major) has got to open
In a (B minor) fundamental (G major) way,
Demo (A major) cracy is coming (G major) to the U.S.A.
