N.C.
The British are coming! The British are coming!
[Verse 1]
A D Now, the ride of Paul Revere G C Set the nation on its ear A F#m C#m D E And the shot at Lexington heard 'round the world A D When the British fired in the early dawn G C The War of Independence had begun F G A D E The die was cast, the rebel flag unfurled A D And on to Concord marched the foe G C To seize the arsenal there you know A F#m C#m D E Waking folks searching all around A D Until our militia stopped them in their tracks G C At the old North Bridge we turned them back F G A D E And chased those Redcoats back to Boston town
[Chorus 1]
C Bb And the shot heard 'round the world Eb F Was the start of the Revolution Eb Dm G The Minutemen were ready, on the move Ab Eb Take your powder, and take your gun Bb Cm Report to General Washington F Eb E Hurry men, there's not an hour to lose!
[Verse 2]
A D Now, at famous Bunker Hill G C Even though we lost, it was quite a thrill A F#m C#m D E The rebel Colonel Prescott proved he was wise A D Outnumbered and low on ammunition G C As the British stormed his position F G A D E He said, "Hold your fire until you see the whites of their eyes!" A D And though the next few years were rough G C General Washington's men proved they were tough A F#m C#m D E Those hungry, ragged boys would not be beat A D One night they crossed the Delaware G C Surprised the Hessians in their lair F G A D E And at Valley Forge they just bundled up their feet!
[Chorus 2]
C Bb And the shot heard 'round the world Eb F Was the start of the Revolution Eb Dm G The Minutemen were ready, on the move Ab Eb Take your blanket, and take your son Bb Cm Report to General Washington F Eb E We've got our rights and now it's time to prove
[Verse 3]
A D Well, they showed such determination G C That they won the admiration A F#m C#m D E Of countries across the sea like France and Spain A D Who loaned the colonies ships and guns G C And put the British on the run F G A D E And the Continental Army on its feet again A D And though they lost some battles too G C The Americans swore they'd see it through A F#m C#m D E Their raiding parties kept up, hit and run A D At Yorktown the British could not retreat G C Bottled up by Washington and the French Fleet F G A D E Cornwallis surrendered and finally we had won!
[Chorus 3]
C Bb And the shot heard 'round the world Eb F To the end of the Revolution Eb Dm G The continental rabble took the day Ab Eb And the father of our country Bb Cm Beat the British there at Yorktown F G A And brought freedom to you and me and the U.S.A.! E A God bless America, let freedom ring!
