     G                       C                 G
The word is revolution, but no one's fired the shot,
D                                  C             G
Each side has its battle plans, a million counterplots.
G                                         D             Esus E
And the world is closely watching as we near the battle lines,
      C               G                     Am     D      G
But if you'rer truly wise you'll keep your eyes on Palestine.


      G                         C                 G
The water is polluted and the air is filled with death,
D                             C                   G
Someday it won't be easy to stop and catch your breath.
G                              D            Esus E
It's all in Revelations, it's part of the design,
      C               G                      Am     D     G
And if you're truly wise, you'll keep your eyes on Palestine.

Am          D           G
Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba.        (If you're unfamiliar with the song, this will mean nothing
Am          D           G                    to you . . .sorry, but it's the best I could do.)
Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba.



    G                                      C                 G
I marched for peace in Washington when things we're getting hot.
D                                  C            G
I gave blood in Chicago, went anemic on the spot.
G                                                             Esus E
I would have hitchhiked to Toronto, but it's all a waste of time,
          C                 G              C              G
So I'm writing down this song to you, to sing and pass along to you,
       C              G                     Am    D       G
And if you're truly wise you'll keep your eyes on Palestine.

Am          D            G
Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba . . .Revolution.
Am          D            G

          just before you hit the last G.
