[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Bm][C][Em][D][C]
[G][Bm][C][G][C][G][C][Em]
[Bm][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I could've seen it in a magazine
The perfect picture of the Manhattan
streets
A monologue from Carrie will
make the scene feel complete
As the people fill up the commercial streets

[Verse 2]
I could be sitting here in London [Em]town
Yeah, It's the weekend,
there are kids all around
The rustling of plastic is
the universal sound
From greenish to greenish,
from dollars to pounds

[Verse 3]
You [Bm]know, [D]you[Bm] could be children of the r[D]ev[C]olution,
[Bm]no
They go and beckon you in[C]to
their loving arms and
Say, "Son, it's good to see you [G]again"

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Bm][G][Am][G]
[Em][G][Bm][G][C][Em][Bm][Am]
[G][Bm][G][C][G][Bm][C]

[Verse 4]
[Em]A child of 14 fingers down[Bm]
[C]their throat[Am][C]
[Em]Convulsing stomach
[G]she's starting to [C]choke
[Em]The mirror rings loud with all
[Bm]the words they [Am]invoke
This [Bm]feeling [C]of worthlessness
will [Bm]help them [C]promote
[Em]All of the products that they
[Bm]need you [C]to buy[Am]
[Em]Shareholder profits over
Chil[G]dren's [C]lives
And [Em]they don't really care as all
[Bm]the tears that [C]you cry[Am]
Will [Bm]help them [C]to wash
away all their [Bm]dirty [C]lies

[Verse 5]
You [G]know, [Bm]you [D]coul[Bm]d be children [D]of the revoluti[C]on,
[Bm]no[D][Bm]
They go and beckon you in[Am]to
their loving arms and
Say, "Son, it's good [Em]to see you again"
[Bm][C][G][Em][C][G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
[Am]Hey [Bm]ho- ho, [G]hey ho- [D]ho, [Em]oh
Hey ho- ho, hey [C]ho- ho,
[G]oh[Em][Bm][Em]
Hey [Bm]ho- ho, hey ho- ho, [G]oh
Hey ho- ho, hey ho- [Em]ho,
[Am]oh[G][Em]
Hey ho- ho, hey ho- ho, oh
[Bm]Hey ho- ho, hey [G]ho- ho, oh

[Verse 7]
You [Bm]know, you could be [D]children of the [C]revolution,
[Bm]no[D]
[Bm]They go and beckon you in
[Am]to their loving arms and
Say, "Son, it's good to see you again"
