Yeah
E
Well you can bump and grind
E
It is good for your mind
E
Well you can twist and shout let it all hang out
G C Am
But you won’t fool the children of the revolution
G C Am
No you won’t fool the children of the revolution, no no no
E
Well you can tear a plane in the falling rain
E
I drive a rolls royce ‘cos it’s good for my voice
E
But you won’t fool the children of the revolution
E
No you won’t fool the children of the revolution, no no no – yeah!

G C Am
But you won’t fool the children of the revolution
Am G C Am
No you won’t fool the children of the revolution
Am G C Am
No you won’t fool the children of the revolution
Am G C Am
No you won’t fool the children of the revolution
