Seeds Of A Revolution

G  C D   G  Em  G  C D

[Verse 1]
C                         G
 They come from Bethlehem, they come from Mars
D                                     G
 They come from the cotton fields and Christopher Street bars,
C                               G       Bm      Em
 They come from the land of need; washed upon the shore
     Am                C               D               D7
Like me they come from far and wide to knock upon your door.

[Chorus]
    G              Em         G             C
The seeds of a revolution are planted in my heart,
  G               Em                C           D
I water them with human tears every day we are apart
        G                    Em            G              C
And the sound of a distant thunder keeps pounding in my brain,
  G                   Em             Am     D         G  Em  G  C D
Tonight I’ll hold you in my arms and softly call your name.

[Verse 2]
C                       G
 They come from Ireland, they come from Greece
D                      G
 They come from Africa looking for release,
C                                  G   Bm       Em
 No more with the whips and chains; no more the gun
    Am               C                D             D7
The tender kiss that freedom brings belongs to everyone.

[Chorus]
    G              Em         G             C
The seeds of a revolution are planted in my heart,
  G               Em                C           D
I water them with human tears every day we are apart
        G                    Em            G              C
And the sound of a distant thunder keeps pounding in my brain,
  G                   Em             Am     D         G  Em
Tonight I’ll hold you in my arms and softly call your name.

[Verse 3]
C                          G
 The morning sun is bright, the sky is blue
D                             G
 The stars that shine tonight shine for me and you
C                         G         Bm      Em
 So raise your weary head, put your hand in mine
  Am             C                  D               D7
Together we will take our stand and walk across the borderline.

[Chorus]
    G              Em         G             C
The seeds of a revolution are planted in my heart,
  G               Em                C           D
I water them with human tears every day we are apart
        G                    Em            G              C
And the sound of a distant thunder keeps pounding in my brain,
  G                   Em             Am     D         G
Tonight I’ll hold you in my arms and softly call your name.
  G                   Em             Am     D         G
Tonight I’ll hold you in my arms and softly call your name.
        G                   Em             Am     D         G  Em
Well, tonight I’ll hold you in my arms and softly call your name.
