	  Intro: A  Dm  A 


      A                D           A 
It's coming through a hole in the air 
 A                      D        A 
From those nights in Tiananmen Square 
       D                        Dm 
It's coming from the feel that this ain't exactly real 
          A 
Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there 
          C# 
From the wars against disorder 
          F#m 
From the sirens night and day 
          C# 
From the fires of the homeless 
          F#m 
From the ashes of the gay 
   E               D        A 
Democracy is coming to the USA 


 
 A                    D             A 
It's coming through a crack in the wall 
A                D         A 
On a visionary flood of alcohol 
            D                        Dm 
From the staggering account of the Sermon on the Mount 
          A 
Which I don't pretend to understand at all 
       C#                           F#m 
It's coming from the silence on the dock of the bay 
          C#                           F#m 
From the brave, the bold, the battered heart of Chevrolet 
  E                D        A 
Democracy is coming to the USA 



 A                     D             A 
It's coming from the sorrow in the street 
 A                D              A 
The holy places where the races meet 
          D 
From the homicidal bitchin' 
           Dm 
That goes down in every kitchen 
      A 
To determine who will serve and who will eat 
          C# 
From the wells of disappointment 
          F#m 
Where the women kneel to pray 
         C# 
For the grace of God in the desert here 
        F#m 
And the desert far away 
 E                 D        A 
Democracy is coming to the USA 

 
     E         D 
Sail on, sail on 
    A 
O mighty ship of state 
         E 
To the shores of need 
           D 
Past the reefs of greed 
              A 
Through the squalls of hate 
     Bm       E        D A 
Sail on, sail on, sail on 



A                D       A 
It's coming to America first 
       A           D             A 
The cradle of the best, of the worst 
      D 
It's here they've got the range 
         Dm 
And the machinery for change 
          A 
And it's here they've got the spiritual thirst 
      C# 
It's here the family's broken 
         F#m 
And it's here the lonely say 
          C# 
That the heart has got to open 
      F#m 
In a fundamental way 
 E                 D        A 
Democracy is coming to the USA 


       A              D             A 
It's coming from the women and the men 
    A             D             A 
Oh baby, we'll be making love again 
  D 
We'll be going down so deep 
          Dm 
That the river's going to weep 
           A 
And the mountain's gonna shout "Amen" 
       C#                         F#m 
It's coming like the tidal flood beneath the lunar sway 
  C#                      F#m 
Imperial, mysterious, in amorous array 
  E                D        A 
Democracy is coming to the USA 

 
     E         D 
Sail on, sail on 
    A 
O mighty ship of state 
         E 
To the shores of need 
          D 
Past the reefs of greed 
              A 
Through the squalls of hate 
     Bm       E        D A 
Sail on, sail on, sail on 


Interlude: A  Dm  A  Dm  A 


      A                   D          A 
I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean 
       A                       D               A 
Oh, I love the country, but I can't stand the scene 
          D                              Dm 
And I'm neither left or right, I'm just staying home tonight 
         A 
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen 
          C#                               F#m 
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay 
     C#                                  F#m 
I'm junk, but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet 
 E                     D        A 
Democracy is coming to, to the USA 
D       A 
  To the USA 
D        A 
  To the USA 
D        A 
  To the USA
