(verse/Chorus) 
     B                                    E 
You say you want a revolution   well you know 
                            B 
We all want to change the world 
     B                                     E 
You tell me that it's evolution  well you know 
                           F# 
We all want to change the world 
C#m                        F# 
But when you talk about destruction 
C#m                           A   B  G#   F# 
Don't you know that you can count me out (in?) 

                          B       E 
Don't you know it's gonna be   Alright 
                          B       E 
Don't you know it's gonna be   Alright 
                          B       E     F#7 
Don't you know it's gonna be   Alright

   You say you want   a  rev   o     lu    ti  on      well     you

      know                                 we  all want to change the... 

.. and so on, while Guitar 2 plays something along these lines: 
 
         B 
-|------------------------------------------------------- 
-|-------------4----4------4----4---4----4---4----4------ 
-|-------------4----4------4----4---4----4---4----4------ 
-|-------------4h6--4------4h6--4---4h6--4---4h6--4------

(guitar 2 plays this figure during the "Chorus") 

 
                   B             E 
-|-------------------------------------------------------11-------------- 
-|-------------------4----4---------------------------9--12--12-----12---

-|-------------------4h6--4---------9--9h11------------------------------ 
-|----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
-|----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
  ... it's gonna be         alright 

.. repeated a few times, and then the following turnaround: 

 
      F#7 
-|----------------------------------------------------------- 
-|----------------------------------------------------------- 
-|----------------------------------------------------------- 
-|-------------2----------4----------2----------------------- 
-|--------2h4--------2h4--------2h4-------------2------------ 
-|--2--2----------2----------2----------2--2h4--------------- 
 

Now, over the A B G# chords in the last verse, the lead guitar 
plays a screaming figure based on this: 

 
-|-----------14---- 
-|--14b(16)-------- 
-|----------------- 
-|----------------- 
-|----------------- 
-|----------------- 
 

And over the B & E chords the final time around, the lead guitar 
is rapidly picking in rhythm with the words: 

 
-|--9-------------- 
-|--12b(14)-------- 
-|----------------- 
-|----------------- 
-|----------------- 
-|----------------- 
 

.. up until the climactic end. 

-|-------------10--9--- 
-|--b(10)9--7--10--9--- 
-|-------------11--10-- 
-|-------------12--11-- 
-|-------------12--11-- 
-|-------------10--9---
