Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]E[/ch
In April of 1775
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
This great nation started coming alive
ch]E[/ch] [ch]C#[/ch
Old King George didn't like it one bit
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
So he proceeded to throw him a royal fit
ch]E[/ch
He told his generals, "Better get 'em back in line!
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Make 'em pay my taxes now! America is mine!
ch]E[/ch] [ch]C#[/ch
Stop that independence talk before it gets around
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Or it's gonna be hard to hold them rebels down"
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]E[/ch
Well, the king was talking 'bout the men like Paul Revere
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And the minutemen who held their dream of independence dear
ch]E[/ch] [ch]C#[/ch
They kept their eyes on the British, they watched them day and night
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
They knew very soon they'd get their chance to stand and fight
ch]E[/ch
Yes, they knew that the British would be moving any hour
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
So they arranged a signal in the North End church tower
ch]E[/ch] [ch]C#[/ch
Paul was watching when the tower showed a light
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And he started on his midnight ride
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
He jumped on his horse, hooves started a-humming
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
He screamed out his warning, "Redcoats are coming!
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C#[/ch
Better get your guns, and your fighting britches on
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
They're coming and they're eight hundred strong"
ch]E[/ch
Next morning at Concord and Lexington town
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The spirit of freedom turned the redcoats around
ch]E[/ch] [ch]C#[/ch
When we praise the men who made this mighty nation we have here
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C#[/ch
Then let's remember Paul Revere
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Yes, let's remember Paul Revere
Outro
ch]E[/ch
I guarantee you something and I want to tell you all
ch]E[/ch
That we never would been here if it hadn't been for Paul
ch]E[/ch
Yessir, I surely doubt us ever being here
ch]E[/ch
If it hadn't been for that man on that horse named Mr. Revere
