The Lumineers – Democracy chords

[Intro]
A  Dm  A

[Verse 1]
      A                D           AIt's coming through a hole in the air
                       D        AFrom those nights in Tiananmen Square
       D                        DmIt's coming from the feel that this ain't exactly real
          AOr it's real, but it ain't exactly there
          C#From the wars against disorder
          F#mFrom the sirens night and day
          C#From the fires of the homeless
          F#mFrom the ashes of the gay
   E               D        ADemocracy is coming to the USA


[Verse 2]
 A                    D             AIt's coming through a crack in the wall
A                D         AOn a visionary flood of alcohol
            D                        DmFrom the staggering account of the Sermon on the Mount
          AWhich I don't pretend to understand at all
       C#                           F#mIt's coming from the silence on the dock of the bay
          C#                           F#mFrom the brave, the bold, the battered heart of Chevrolet
  E                D        ADemocracy is coming to the USA


[Verse 3]
 A                     D             AIt's coming from the sorrow in the street
 A                D              AThe holy places where the races meet
          DFrom the homicidal bitchin'
           DmThat goes down in every kitchen
      ATo determine who will serve and who will eat
          C#From the wells of disappointment
          F#mWhere the women kneel to pray
         C#For the grace of God in the desert here
        C#mAnd the desert far away
 E                 D        ADemocracy is coming to the USA


[Chorus]
     E         DSail on, sail on
    AO mighty ship of state
         ETo the shores of need
           DPast the reefs of greed
              AThrough the squalls of hate
     Bm       E        D ASail on, sail on, sail on


[Verse 4]
A                D       AIt's coming to America first
       A           D             AThe cradle of the best, of the worst
      DIt's here they've got the range
         DmAnd the machinery for change
          AAnd it's here they've got the spiritual thirst
      C#It's here the family's broken
         F#mAnd it's here the lonely say
          C#That the heart has got to open
      F#mIn a fundamental way
 E                 D        ADemocracy is coming to the USA


[Verse 5]
       A              D             AIt's coming from the women and the men
    A             D             AOh baby, we'll be making love again
  DWe'll be going down so deep
          DmThat the river's going to weep
           AAnd the mountain's gonna shout "Amen"
       C#                         F#mIt's coming like the tidal flood beneath the lunar sway
  C#                      F#mImperial, mysterious, in amorous array
  E                D        ADemocracy is coming to the USA


[Chorus]
     E         DSail on, sail on
    AO mighty ship of state
         ETo the shores of need
          DPast the reefs of greed
              AThrough the squalls of hate
     Bm       E        D ASail on, sail on, sail on


[Interlude]

[Verse 6]
      A                   D          AI'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
       A                       D               AOh, I love the country, but I can't stand the scene
          D                              DmAnd I'm neither left or right, I'm just staying home tonight
         AGetting lost in that hopeless little screen
          C#                               F#mBut I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay
     C#                                  F#mI'm junk, but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet
 E                     D        ADemocracy is coming to, to the USA
D       A  To the USA
D        A  To the USA
D        A  To the USA
