Verse
Call out the instigator
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
Fill A - play this twice. This little piece can be a little bit tricky but it sounds good.

Verse
Run through the fields and houses
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
Fill A 2x
And you know that it's right
Chorus
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Verse
Call out the instigator
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
E fill B
And you know it's right
Again it changes key so it changes the fill but it's easy now.
Fill B play twice
