Paul Revere

G G7 In April of 1775 C G this great nation started coming to life. Em Old King George didn`t like it one bit, Am D so he proceeded to throw him a royal fit. G G7 He told his generals : Better get `em back in line! C G Make `em pay my taxes now, America is mine! Em Stop that independence talk before it gets around, Am D G or it`s gonna be hard to hold them rebels down! G G7 Well, the King was talking `bout the men like Paul Revere, C G and the Minutemen who held their dream of independence dear. Em They kept their eyes on the British, they watched them day and night, Am D they knew very soon they`d get their chance to stand and fight. G7 Yes, they knew that the British would be moving any hour, C G so they arranged a signal in the Northend church tower. Em Paul was watching when the tower showed a light, Am D G and he started on his midnight ride. C G He jumped on his horse, hooves started a humming, C G he screamed out his warning: Redcoats are comin! C Em Better get your guns, and your fighting breeches on, Am D they`re comin` and they`re eight hundred strong. G G7 Next morning at Concord and Lexington town, C G the spirit of freedom turned the Redcoats around. Em When we praise the men who made that mighty nation we have here, Am D G Em Am D G then let`s remember Paul Revere, yes, let`s remember Paul Revere. G I guarantee you somethin and I wanna tell you all that we never would been here if it hadn`t been for Paul. Yes Sir I surely doubt us ever bein here if it hadn`t been for that man on that horse named mr revere
