Wake up boys, there's a light at the window,
CGAm
I can hear someone knocking on the door,
Am
There are voices in the street,
D
And the sound of running feet,
FGAm
And they whisper the word, revolution!
AmGAm
There are men coming down from the valleys,
CGAm
There are tall ships lying off the coast,
Am
And they carry the light,
D
In the dark of the night,
FGAm
Like a whisper in the wind, revolution!
AmGAm
Bring my gun and a handful of silver,
CGAm
By the sea we will gather for the fight,
Am
It's been so many years,
D
So many tears,
FG
We have lost once before,

Now we'll settle the score,

When our cannons will roar, revolution!!!!!

To light a fire!

Under cover of the darkness we will slip behind the lines,
