[Verse]
         F#7                      
Rumanian dictator emperor for life
             F#7                              
Lived a life of luxury shared only by his wife
        F#7                                      
Growing fat like pigs eating meals fit for a king
                                     F#       
Accumulating assets like none you've ever seen
        F#7                                                
Now the table's turned they were stripped of all they owned
F#  F#7                   E                       
The revolution's cast the dictator from the throne
           E                            
With their execution so ends the tyranny
                 C#                         
Two bullets from a rifle set the people free
             C#          
Fighting for their rights
                 C#    
They toppled the regime
            C#          
Pillage all their riches
          C#         
Left them not a thing
              C#         
Now they know the feeling
                  C#          
To reap the seeds they've sewn
              C#        
Banished from the living
               C#        
When they were overthrown
             C#                     
How did they feed the enormous greed
                         F7   
It took to satisfy their needs
C#                          
They drained the country dry
                    C# 
As thousands had to die
                        F7      
But now the monarchy is nullfied


[Chorus]
D7                          
■  The changing of the guard
        Am                   
They no longer deal the cards
                  B7        E7
The world demands democracy ■ 
                      E   
It's the dawning of a time
D                          
When the system's redefined
                   E       F#m   
Oppression's now a distant memory
D7        A7                                  
Communism yields to the might the people wield
                 A7                
For a democratic form of government
F#m E                 D        
■   For their blatant disregard
                            D   
They have suffered long and hard
                E               F#m  
It's time for a changing of the guard

[Verse]
          F#7                                
No longer will they rule the land by genocide
              F#7                                 
The traces of their empire have all been liquefied
          F#7                       
Political reform has gotten underway
            F#7                                  
Now they're free to speak before they'd only pray
           F#7                                   
Freedom is contagious it's spreading far and wide
           F#7                                      
The Berlin Wall has fallen there's no need to divide
          F#7                                        
They walk across a border where many tried and failed
            F#7                                      
Others died but not in vain the people have prevailed
             F#7         
Fighting for their rights
                 F#7   
They toppled the regime
             F#7         
Pillaged all their riches
          F#7        
Left them not o thing
              F#7        
Now they know the feeling
            F#7               
To reap the seeds they've sewn
         F#7            
Banished from the living
               F#7       
When they were overthrown
             F#7                    
How did they feed the enormous greed
        F                  A7   
It took ■ to satisfy their needs
                 A7         
They drained the country dry
             A        A7 
As thousands ■ had to die
            C                    
But now the monarchy is nullified
