Verse 1
D 
G 
In April of 1775
D 
This great nation started coming alive
B 
Old King George didn't like it one bit
E 
A 
So he proceeded to throw him a royal fit
D 
He told his generals better get
Them back in line
G 
Make them pay my taxes
D 
now America is mine
Stop that Independence cops before
B 
E 
It gets around or it'll go
ing to be hard
A 
D 
To hold them rebels down
Well the King was talking about
The men like Paul Revere
G 
And the minute men who held
D 
Their dream of Independence dear
They kept their eyes on the
British
B 
They watched them day and night
E 
They knew very soon they'd get their
A 
Chance to stand and fight
D 
Yes they knew that the British
Would get moving any hour
G 
So they arranged a signal in
D 
The Northern Church Tower
Paul was watching when the
B 
Tower showed a light
E 
A 
D 
And he started on his midnight ride
G 
He jumped on his horse
D 
Hoofs started a humming
G 
he screamed out his
D 
Warning redcoats're coming
G 
Better get your guns and
D 
B 
Your fighting britches on
E 
They're coming and they're
A 
Eight hundred strong
D 
Next morning at Concord
and Lexington town
G 
The spirit of freedom turned
D 
The redcoats around
When we praise the men who made
B 
This mighty nation we have here
E 
A 
Then let's remember Paul
D 
B 
Revere yes
E 
A 
D 
Let's remember Paul Revere
I guarantee you something and I
Want to tell you all
That we never would've been here if
It hadn't been for Paul
Yes sir I surely doubt us ever being here
If it hadn't been for that man
