[Verse 1]
Am C G Am In Lexington in 75 the redcoats moved to sieze Am C G D A cache of farmers weapons their only guard of liberty Am C G Am At dawn a trembling soldier fired the shot heard round the world Am C G D This is the story my father told me since I was a little girl
[Chorus]
D Cadd9 G D We sing these stories for the men who fought war in our names D Cadd9 G D Should we ever forget their sacrifice they'll all have died in vain D Cadd9 G D These men sought no fortune nor to garner a heros fame D Cadd9 G D Oppression and tyranny were the beasts they sought to tame
[Verse 2]
Am C G Am The war raged on for 8 long years many men lost their lives Am C G D Sons, brothers and husbands who never made it home to see their wives Am C G Am The sacrifice of bodies a terror I never had to see Am C G D But I know their lives were given so today we could live free
[Verse 3]
Am C G Am Selfless acts of courage have always formed the soldiers creed Am C G D The General walked the battlefield among the men that he would lead Am C G Am Merchants, tradesmen and farmers joined a common cause to defend Am C G D Through starvation and cold of winter they fought until the end
[Chorus]
D Cadd9 G D We sing these stories for the men who fought war in our names D Cadd9 G D Should we ever forget their sacrifice they'll all have died in vain D Cadd9 G D These men sought no fortune nor to garner a heros fame D Cadd9 G D Oppression and tyranny were the beasts they sought to tame
[Verse 4]
Am C G Am When war ended their most difficult task they'd undertake Am C G D For now ordinary citizen solders their own country must make Am C G Am Our awe-inspiring founding, some try today to diminish Am C G D With their appologies they seek, this country to finish Am C G Am Despite their complaining this much I'm certain when I say Am C G D You'll find no place on Earth with more Freedom than America has today
