[Remember, Freedom isn't Free] ["By the rude bridge that arched the flood,] [Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,] [Here once the embattled farmers stood] [And fired the shot heard round the world."] [Intro] C C [Verse 1]
C          Eb           C      F   C
Momma, hey momma, come lookin' for me

C               Eb             C     F   G
I'm here in the meadow by the red maple tree

C              Eb        C     F     G
Momma, hey momma, look sharp, here I be
[Refrain]
Dm   Bb    F          C
Hey, hey, momma look sharp
[Verse 2]
C                   Eb         C     F    C
Them soldiers, they fired. Oh ma, did we run

C                  Eb             C   F   G
But then we turned round and the battle begun

C              Eb      C     F   G
Then I went under, oh ma, am I done?
[Refrain]
Dm   Bb    F          C
Hey, hey, momma look sharp
[Verse 3]
C                Eb         C     F    C
My eyes are wide open, my face to the sky

C              Eb               C     F     G
Is that you I'm hearin' in the tall grass nearby?

C              Eb        C   F   G
Momma come find me before I do die
[Refrain]
Dm   Bb    F          C
Hey, hey, momma look sharp
[Bridge]
      C                 Am 
I'll close your eyes, my Billy

      C             Am  
Them eyes that cannot see

          C          Am  
And I'll bury you, my Billy

   C              Am 
Beneath the maple tree
[Coda}
C              Eb             C   F   G
And never again will you whisper to me

Dm   Bb    F          C
Hey, hey, momma look sharp
