C F G
In a little valley by a bridge they made a stand,
C Dm G
Just a bunch of boys, sir -- oh, but they were grand,
F C
Red Coats couldn't find 'em forward or behind 'em,
Dm F G C
For their eyes were keen, sir -- and green their mountain land.
[Chorus]
F G C Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
Dm G C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys,
F G C Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
Dm G C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys.
[Verse 2]
C F G
The farmer dropped his plow and took his rifle from the wall,
C Dm G
Another dropped his hammer when he heard the call,
F C
They left their farms and wheat, sir -- to go plant freedom's seed, sir
Dm F G C
To feed a hungry nation with freedom for all.
[Chorus]
F G C Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
Dm G C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys,
F G C Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
Dm G C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys.
[Verse 3]
C F G
Every man was ready, sir -- hidden where no folk could see,
C Dm G
Behind the rocks and stones, in every bush and tree,
F C
They waited for a sign, sir -- and gave 'em such a time, sir,
Dm F G C
And sent 'em on their way, sir -- back across the sea.
[Chorus]
F G C Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
Dm G C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys,
F G C Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
Dm G C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys.
[Verse 4]
C F G
In a little valley by a bridge they made a stand,
C Dm G
Just a bunch of boys, sir -- oh, but they were grand,
F C
The sky was red above, sir -- their hearts were filled with love, sir
Dm F G C
For their brothers everywhere and their mountain land.
[Chorus]
F G C Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
Dm G C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys,
F G C Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
Dm G C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys.
