[Intro]
A Dm A
[Verse 1]
It's cAoming through a hDole in the aAir
FArom those nights in TiaDnanmen SqAuare
It's coDming from the feel that tDmhis ain't exactly real
Or it's reAal, but it ain't exactly there
From the wC#ars against disorder
From the sF#mirens night and day
From the fC#ires of the homeless
From the aF#mshes of the gay
DemEocracy is comingD to the UASA
[Verse 2]
IAt's coming through a Dcrack in the wAall
AOn a visionary flDood of alcAohol
From the staDggering account of the SeDmrmon on the Mount
Which I doAn't pretend to understand at all
It's coC#ming from the silence on the F#mdock of the bay
From the bC#rave, the bold, the battered F#mheart of Chevrolet
DeEmocracy is comingD to the UASA
[Verse 3]
IAt's coming from the soDrrow in the stAreet
TAhe holy places whDere the races mAeet
From the hDomicidal bitchin'
That goes dDmown in every kitchen
To detAermine who will serve and who will eat
From the wC#ells of disappointment
Where the F#mwomen kneel to pray
For the gC#race of God in the desert here
And the F#mdesert far away
DEemocracy is comingD to the UASA
[Chorus]
Sail Eon, sail oDn
O miAghty ship of state
To the shEores of need
Past the reDefs of greed
Through the sqAualls of hate
Sail Bmon, sail Eon, sail DonA
[Verse 4]
AIt's coming to AmDerica fiArst
The craAdle of the bDest, of the woArst
It's hDere they've got the range
And the mDmachinery for change
And it's hAere they've got the spiritual thirst
It's hC#ere the family's broken
And it's F#mhere the lonely say
That the hC#eart has got to open
In a fF#mundamental way
DEemocracy is comingD to the UASA
[Verse 5]
It's coAming from the wDomen and the mAen
Oh bAaby, we'll be Dmaking love agAain
WeD'll be going down so deep
That the rDmiver's going to weep
And the mouAntain's gonna shout "Amen"
It's coC#ming like the tidal flood bF#meneath the lunar sway
ImC#perial, mysterious, in aF#mmorous array
DeEmocracy is comingD to the UASA
[Chorus]
Sail Eon, sail oDn
O miAghty ship of state
To the shEores of need
Past the rDeefs of greed
Through the sqAualls of hate
Sail Bmon, sail Eon, sail DonA
[Interlude]
A Dm A Dm A
[Verse 6]
I'm seAntimental, if you knDow what I mAean
Oh, I lAove the country, but I cDan't stand the sAcene
And I'm neDither left or right, I'm just sDmtaying home tonight
Getting lAost in that hopeless little screen
But I'm stC#ubborn as those garbage bags thatF#m time cannot decay
I'm jC#unk, but I'm still holding up this lF#mittle wild bouquet
DEemocracy is coming to,D to the UASA
D To theA USA
D To the AUSA
D To the AUSA
