Verse: 
G           D 
This is the night 
G            D    A            G 
Light up the fire in the forge 
              D            E          A 
We're not the coins in the coffer of old king George 
G         D 
One if by land 
G           D     A    G 
Two if they come by sea 
                D          E            A 
We'll show them we are the true sons of liberty 

Pre-Chorus 
D        A         C                 G 
Punk ass redcoats trying to run the show 
D       A           C              G 
Telling me what to do and where to go 
D           A               C                G 
Mount your horse cause it's time to tell the world 

Chorus:
