F In April of 1775 A# F This great nation started comin' alive D Ol' King George didn't like it one bit G C so he proceeded to throw him a royal fit. He told his generals better get them back in line Make them pay my taxes now America is mine Stop that Independence cops before it gets around Or it'll going to be hard to hold them rebels down Well the King was talking about the men like Paul Revere And the minute men who held their dream of Independence dear They kept their eyes on the British they watched them day and night They knew very soon they'd get their chance to stand and fight Yes they knew that the British would get moving any hour So they arranged a signal in the Northern Church Tower Paul was watching when the tower showed a light And he started on his midnight ride He jumped on his horse hoofs started a humming He screamed out his warning redcoats're coming Better get your guns and your fighting britches on They're coming and they're eight hundred strong Next morning at Concord and Lexington town The spirit of freedom turned the redcoats around When we praise the men who made this mighty nation we have here Then let's remember Paul Revere yes 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 on that horse named Mr Revere You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  C  D  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
