The Lumineers - Democracy Chords

[Opening]
[A][Dm][A]
It’s [A]coming through a [D]hole in the [A]air
[A]From those nights in[D]Tiananmen [A]Square
It’s [D]coming from the feel that [Dm]this ain’t exactly real
Or it’s [A]real, but it ain’t exactly there
From the [C#]wars against disorder, from the [F#m]sirens night and day
From the [C#]fires of the homeless, from the [F#m]ashes of the gay
[E]Democracy is coming [D]to the [A]USA

[verse 2]
[A]It’s coming through a [D]crack in the [A]wall
[A]On a visionary [D]flood of [A]alcohol
From the [D]staggering account of the [Dm]Sermon on the Mount
Which I [A]don’t pretend to understand at all
It’s [C#]coming from the silence on the [F#m]dock of the bay
From the [C#]brave, the bold, the battered [F#m]heart of Chevrolet
[E]Democracy is coming [D]to the [A]USA

[verse 3]
I[A]t’s coming from the [D]sorrow in the [A]street
T[A]he holy places [D]where the races [A]meet
From the [D]homicidal bitching, that goes [Dm]down in every kitchen
To [A]determine who will serve and who will eat
From the [C#]wells of disappointment, where the [F#m]women kneel to pray
For the [C#]grace of God in the desert here, and the [F#m]desert far away
[E]Democracy is coming [D]to the [A]USA

[chorus]
Sail [E]on, sail [D]on, o [A]mighty ship of state
To the [E]shores of need, past the [D]reefs of greed
Through the [A]squalls of hate, sail [Bm]on, sail [E]on, sail [D][A]on

[verse 4]
[A]It’s coming to [D]America [A]first, the [A]cradle of the [D]best, of the [A]worst
It’s [D]here they’ve got the range, and the [Dm]machinery for change
And it’s [A]here they’ve got the spiritual thirst, it’s [C#]here the family’s broken
And it’s [F#m]here the lonely say, that the [C#]heart has got to open
In a [F#m]fundamental way, [E]democracy is coming [D]to the [A]USA

[verse 5]
It’s [A]coming from the [D]women and the [A]men
Oh [A]baby, we’ll be [D]making love [A]again
[D]We’ll be going down so deep, that the [Dm]river’s going to weep
And the [A]mountain’s gonna shout “Amen”
It’s [C#]coming like the tidal flood [F#m]beneath the lunar sway
[C#]Imperial, mysterious, in [F#m]amorous array
[E]Democracy is coming [D]to the [A]USA

[chorus]
Sail [E]on, sail [D]on, o [A]mighty ship of state
To the [E]shores of need, past the [D]reefs of greed
Through the [A]squalls of hate, sail [Bm]on, sail [E]on, sail [D][A]on

[Closing]
[A][Dm][A][Dm][A]
I’m [A]sentimental, if you [D]know what I [A]mean
Oh, I [A]love the country, but I c[D]an’t stand the [A]scene
And I’m [D]neither left or right, I’m just [Dm]staying home tonight
Getting [A]lost in that hopeless little screen
But I’m [C#]stubborn as those garbage bags [F#m]that time cannot decay
I’m [C#]junk, but I’m still holding up this [F#m]little wild bouquet
[E]Democracy is coming to,[D]to the [A]USA, [D]to [A]the USA
[D]To the [A]USA, [D]to the [A]USA…
