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                                
Make  `em pay my taxes now, America
 G
 is mine!
                            Em
Stop that independence talk before 
it gets around,
        Am               D        
or it`s gonna be hard to hold them
   G
 rebels down!

              G                    
    Well, the King was talking 
  G7

            C                      
    and the Minutemen who held 
                  G
their dream of independence dear.
    They kept their eyes on the 
         Em
British, they watched them day and 
night,
     Am                            
    they knew very soon they`d get 
      D
their chance to stand and fight.
   Yes, they knew that the British 
      G7
would be moving any hour,
       C                           
    so they arranged a signal in 
           G
the Northend church tower.
                               Em
    Paul was watching when the tower
 showed a light,
           Am             D       
    and he started on his midnight 
G
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                     
    they`re comin` and they`re 
     D
eight hundred strong.

         G                  G7
    Next morning at Concord and     
Lexington town,
         C                         
    the spirit of freedom turned 
            G
the  Redcoats around.
    When we praise the men who made 
     Em
that mighty nation we have here,
        Am             D     G 
   then let`s remember Paul 
Em      Am                     D

         G
