Lyrics:
     B                                    E
You say you want a revolution   well you know
                            B
We all want to change the world
     B                                     E
You tell me that it's evolution  well you know
                           F#
We all want to change the world
C#m                        F#
But when you talk about destruction
C#m                           A   B  G#   F#
Don't you know that you can count me out


                          B       E
Don't you know it's gonna be   Alright
                          B       E
Don't you know it's gonna be   Alright
                          B       E     F#7
Don't you know it's gonna be   Alright


    B                                      E
You say you got a real solution   well you know
                         B
We'd all love to see the plan
    B                                    E
You ask me for a contribution   well you know
                    B
We're doing what we can
C#m                                     F#
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
C#m                                 A   B  G#   F#
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

(chorus)

    B                                           E
You say you'll change the constitution well you know
                           B
We all want to change your head
    B                                     E
You tell me it's the institution well you know
                             B
You better free your mind instead
C#m                                F#
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
C#m                                 A B G#   F#
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow
