Intro 1

Verse 1
Em 
In  (E minor) front of the troops
there's children dancing
Horses stamping sabres drawn
On a bright November morning,
women sitting, singing songs
Minister Bryce polished his medal,
declared that no one from the press
Should witness the upcoming battle,
official reports were all suppressed
F#m 
They  (F sharp minor) burnt the houses,
smashed the gardens
Held the men without a trial
Em 
 (E minor) Took the leaders south in iron
Locked them in a stony jail
Esus4 
Em 
 (Esus4) No       one faltered, no one wavered  (E minor) 
Esus4 
Em 
In peace they  (Esus4) stood    up for their rights  (E minor) 
Just as night brings on the morning
So patient struggle brings the light
At school we learned about old England
Not a word about this place
Religious strife in the 1600s
What's that got to do with us?
F#m 
Let's  (F sharp minor) put a new guy on the bonfire
Let the bonfire blaze away
Em 
Light  (E minor) up John Bryce
on the 5th of November
Make it Party Hocker Day
Esus4 
Em 
Hey,  (Esus4)  (E minor) yeah
Hey, make it a party hunker day
Hey, make it a party hunker day
Hey, make it Party Haka Day
Hey, make it Party Haka Day
Hey, make it Party Haka Day
Hey, make it Party Haka Day
Hey, make it Party Haka Day
Hey, make it Party Haka Day
