[Intro] Dm C G The battle of Yorktown Dm C G seventeen-eighty-one [Verse] Dm C G Monsieur Hamilton Monsieur Lafayette In command where you belong How you say, no sweat Dm C G We're finally on the field We've had quite a run Immigrants We get the job done Dm C G So what happens if we win? I go back to France I bring freedom to my people if I'm given the chance Dm C G We'll be with you when you do Go lead your men See you on the other side 'Til we meet again, let's go [Chorus] Dm F G I am not throwin' away my shot F/A C Dm I am not throwin' away my shot Dm F G Hey yo, I'm just like my country, I'm young Scrappy and hungry F/A C Dm And I'm not throwin' away my shot Dm F G I am not throwin' away my shot F/A C Dm 'Til the world turns upside down F G 'Til the world turns upside down [Verse] Dm C G I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory This is where it gets me: on my feet The enemy ahead of me Dm C G If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me Dm C G Then I remember my Eliza's expecting me Not only that, my Eliza's expecting Dm C G We gotta go, gotta get the job done Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son [Chorus] Dm F G Take the bullets out your gun (what?) The bullets out your gun (what?) F/A C Dm We move under cover and we move as one Dm F G Through the night, we have one shot to live another day F/A C Dm We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away Dm F G We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it F/A C Dm It's either that or meet the business end of a bayonet Dm F G The code word is 'Rochambeau,' dig me? Rochambeau F/A C Dm You have your orders now, go, man, go [Verse] Dm C G And so the American experiment begins With my friends all scattered to the winds Dm C G Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining bravery We'll never be free until we end slavery Dm C G When we finally drive the British away Lafayette is there waiting In Chesapeake Bay Dm C G How did we know that this plan would work? We had a spy on the inside That's right [Chorus] Dm F G Hercules Mulligan A tailor spyin' on the British government F/A C Dm I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it (up) Dm F G To my brother's revolutionary covenant F/A C Dm I'm runnin' with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin' it Dm F G See, that's what happens when you up against the ruffians F/A C Dm We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it Dm F G Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction F/A C Dm When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again Dm After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet Dm We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief Dm G/D And just like that, it's over We tend to our wounded, we count our dead F/D G/D Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom N.C. Not yet Dm C G We negotiate the terms of surrender I see George Washington smile Dm F G We escort their men out of Yorktown They stagger home single file Dm C Tens of thousands of people flood the streets There are screams and church bells ringing G/B A And as our fallen foes retreat I hear the drinking song they're singing Dm G The world turned upside down Dm G The world turned upside down Dm G The world turned upside down F/D G/D The world turned upside down Dm F G G/A Down, Down, down, down Freedom for America, freedom for France Dm F G G/A Down, down, down Gotta start a new nation Gotta meet my son Dm F G G/A Down, down, down We won, We won, We won, We won F G Dm The world turned upside down
