[Verse 1]
[D]JOHN PAUL JONES

[Verse 2]
When [D]John Paul Jones was a little
boy he pointed to the sea
Said when I get to be a man
a [F#]fightin' man I'll be
I'll [D]leave my mark on the ocean
and my name in history
When John Paul was a member
of the British Admiralty
He killed a sailor on his ship
which [F#]was a crime you see
He [D]changed his name to JP Jones
and came to Amerik- e

[Verse 3]
He [D]fought in the rain and he fought in the
sun and he fought in the moonlight [Bm]too
He fought with [D]his knife and
he fought with his gun
And he fought till his blood ran [Bm]through
Well [D]John Paul Jones was a fightin'
man a fightin' man was he
He sailed to the east and he sailed to the west

[Verse 4]
and he helped set America free
[D]

[Verse 5]
When JohnPaul was a Captain in [D]the
US Naval Band
A fightin' for the glory and
the [F#]freedom of our land
He [D]made those British captains
wish that they were on dry land
He sent their mighty vessels
to the bottom of the sea
He took their bags of treasure and
[F#]he sank their chests of Tea
He [D]gave his blood for all free
men and his life for liberty

[Verse 6]
He [D]fought in the rain and he fought in the sun
and he fought in the [A]moonlight [Bm]too
He [D]fought with his knife and he
fought with his gun
And he fought till his blood
ran [Bm]through
Well John Paul [D]Jones was a fightin'
man a fightin' man was he
He sailed to the east and he sailed to the west
and he helped set America free

[Verse 7]
[D][ banjo ]

[Verse 8]
He fought in the rain and he fought in the
sun and he fought in the moonlight [Bm]too
He [D]fought with his knife and he
fought with his gun
And he fought till his blood ran [Bm]through
Well [D]John Paul Jones was a fightin'
man a fightin' man was he
He sailed to the east and he sailed to the
west and he helped set America free
