[Verse]
D
D
Call out the instigator
                         Em
Because there's something in the air
                        D
We've got to get together sooner or later
                       Em
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.

We've got to get together sooner or later
                     Em

It looks long and confusing but it's really simple.  Here's the layout out the interlude/solo:
Figure 1 2x
Figure 2 2x
Figure 1 2x
Figure 2 2x
Figure 3 2x
Figure 4 2x
Ends with G  A  B
From there the whole rest of the song changes key.


[Verse]
E
E
Call out the instigator
                         F#m
Because there's something in the air

                       E
We've got to get together sooner or later
                        F#m
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
