Deep Purple – The Battle Of New Orleans (Guitar)

G     C       F
Well, 1814 we took a little trip

 G                                  C
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'

                              F
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

   G                           C
We met the bloody British in a town near New Orleans

C
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

                                   G            C
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

C
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

                            G           C
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

   C
We looked down a river

       F
And we see'd the British come

          G
And there must havе been a hundred of 'em

C
Beatin' on thе drums

C
They stepped so high

         F
And they made their bugles ring

   G
We stood beside our cotton bales

    C
And didn't say a thing

C
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

                                   G            C
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

                            G           C
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

C
Old Hickory said

         F
We could take 'em by surprise

      G
If we didn't fire our muskets

         C
'Till we looked 'em in the eye

                          F
We held our fire 'till we see their faces well

        G
Then we opened up our squirrel guns

    C
And really gave 'em - well we

C
Fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

                                   G            C
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

C
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

                            G           C
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

     C
They ran through the briars

         F
And they ran through the brambles

         G
And they ran through the bushes

          C
Where the rabbit couldn't go

                          F
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

   G                           C
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

                             F
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down

      G                           C
So we grabbed an alligator and we fired another round

                                          F
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind

    G                                  C
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind

C
They ran through the briars

C
And they ran through the brambles

C
And they ran through the bushes

          G               C
Where the rabbit couldn't go

                                          F
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

   C              A            C
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

                                        C
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

C F C G C F C      G           C
            To the Gulf of Mexico

C F C G C F C G C F C G C F C      G           C
                            To the Gulf of Mexico
