[Verse 1]
[Em]Jet [C]a[B][Em][C][B][Em]
tire out in the [C]snow,
[Am]walk in the frozen [Em]trench lines
[C]Wet boots [B]and his wool coat
coming [Em]apart at the [C]seams[B]
Ra[Em]tions of hard -baked [C]dough,
[Am]handfuls of melting snow
[Em]What[C] else can [B]a man live
on but his [Em]dreams?[C][B]
[Em]Not twenty miles away
[C]in the man[Am]sions of Philadelphia
[Em]Loyal[C]ists laying their [B]money
down on the [Em]king[C]
[B]We've pro[Em]vision enough for the day
[C]But if vic[Am]tory were just for the wea[Em]lthy
[C]A noble cause wouldn't b[B]e worth
the hardship or [Em]suffering
[C]Send the cloth for a [Em]good waistcoat
I [Am]dream of your hearth and the [Em]fields of oat
I [C]wake to the drum
and the [B]trembling note of the [Em]piper[C]
[B]May it [Am]please God in His [Em]great mercy
To shel[Am]ter our friends and our f[Em]amily
I re[C]main your son most faith[B]fully,
Je[Em]didiah[C][B][Em][C]
[B]I h[Em]ave seen a man, w[C]ho's seen [Am]a man
who has [Em]heard the king
[C]Tell of his intention our
[B]independence [Em]to de[C]clare
[B]The [Em]peace will undoubtedly [C]bring
a [Am]great revolution in [Em]commerce
[C]May it be our rightful fortun[B]e
to come in [Em]for a share
[C]My regards to a [Em]cer tain Miss Moore
I've [Am]stated my honorable
inten[Em]tions for her
That [C]upon my return from
this ne[B]cessary war
She'll [Em]be my wife
[C]May [B]it ple[Am]ase God in His[Em] great mercy
To re[Am]store the joys of do[Em]mesticity
Sa[C]lutations to the fam[B]ily
Jedidi[Em]ah[C][B][Em][C][Am][Em][C][B]
[Em][C][B][Em][C][Am][Em][C][B]
[Em]
I re[C]joice that the cause
we're en[Em]gaged in
is in the [Am]hands of an Almighty Sov[Em]ereign
Who, [C]doubt not,
is [B]accomplishing the ends of [Em]His d[C]esire
[B]My [Am]love to you and the [Em]fairness more
[Am]Spare me a bottle from the [Em]cellar store
And [C]in my name let the con[B]tents pour
[Em]Jitter [C]down[B][Em][C][B][Em][C]
