-first letter-A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #

	D	G	A
It's co	ming through a h	ole in the a	ir,

	D	A	D
from those ni	ghts in Tia	nanmen Sq	uare.

	G
It's co	ming from the feel

	C
that this	ain't exactly real,

	D
or it's r	eal, but it ain't exactly there.

	F#
From the w	ars against disorder,

	Bm
from the s	irens night and day,

	F#
from the f	ires of the homeless,

	Bm
from the a	shes of the gay:

	A	G	D	Gm	D
Demo	cracy is coming	to the U.S.	A.

	D	G	A
It's co	ming through a	crack in the w	all;

	D	A	D
on a vis	ionary fl	ood of alc	ohol;

	G
from the stag	gering account

	C
of the	Sermon on the Mount

	D
which I d	on't pretend to understand at all.

	F#
It's c	oming from the silence

	Bm
on the	dock of the bay,

	F#
from the br	ave, the bold, the battered

	Bm
heart of	Chevrolet:

	A	G	D	Gm	D
Dem	ocracy is coming	to the U.S.	A.

	D	G	A
It's co	ming from the so	rrow in the st	reet,

	D	A	D
the h	oly places wh	ere the races m	eet;

	G
from the hom	icidal bitchin'

that goes [C}down in every kitchen

	D
to dete	rmine who will serve and who will eat.

	F#
From the we	lls of disappointment

	Bm
where the w	omen kneel to pray

	F#
for the g	race of God in the desert here

	Bm
and the de	sert far away:

	A	G	D	Gm	D
Demo	cracy is coming	to the U.S.	A.

	D	G	A
It's co	ming to Am	erica fi	rst,

	D	A	D
the cr	adle of the b	est and of the wo	rst.

	G
It's h	ere they got the range

	C
and the	machinery for change

	D
and it's h	ere they got the spiritual thirst.

	F#
It's h	ere the family's broken

	Bm
and it's h	ere the lonely say

	F#
that the h	eart has got to open

	Bm
in a fun	damental way:

	A	G	D	Gm	D
Demo	cracy is coming	to the U.S.	A.

	D	G	A
It's co	ming from the wo	men and the m	en.

	D	A	D
O b	aby, we'll be ma	king love ag	ain.

	G
We'll be go	ing down so deep

	C
the	river's going to weep,

	D
and the mou	ntain's going to shout Amen!

	F#
It's co	ming like the tidal flood

	Bm
be	neath the lunar sway,

	F#
im	perial, mysterious,

	Bm
in am	orous array:

	A	G	D	Gm	D
Demo	cracy is coming	to the U.S.	A.

	D	G	A
I'm sent	imental, if you	know what I m	ean

	D	A	D
I love the cou	ntry but I	can't stand the sc	ene.

	G
And I'm ne	ither left or right

	C
I'm just	staying home tonight,

	D
getting l	ost in that hopeless little screen.

	F#
But I'm stu	bborn as those garbage bags

	Bm
that T	ime cannot decay,

	F#
I'm j	unk but I'm still holding up

	Bm
this li	ttle wild bouquet:

	A	G	D	Gm	D
Dem	ocracy is coming	to the U.S.	A

[c: Modified to include the C in the 4th line of each verse, and the (repeatable) Gm D at the end of each verse.  I prefer to play the song in the C form on guitar.]
