Intro: E
li[E]sten to the fife and snare,
marching through the square
St[C#m]encil flags of insurrection,
da[B]ncin' through the air
R[E]ead the rants of a Thomas Paine
[A]of modern d[E]ay
[A]I have felt a spi[E]rit,
that has n[B]ot yet gone a[E]way
Boy[E]cott me and boycott this
and m[B]ute your children's mo[E]uths
W[A]hen they sing along
to this very s[E]ong
Sp[A]read word all aro[B]und
Hey, F[A]OP, boy[E]cott me
f[B]or I am standing[C#m] up
I'd ra[A]ther taste a re[E]bel's glory
than d[B]rink blood from y[E]our cup'
I'd ra[A]ther taste a re[E]bel's glory
than dr[B]ink blood from your cup
Breakdown:
[E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [B] [E]
R[E]ead the rants of those in jail
and those who rode the rails
Then [C#m]lay down on the roads we paved
eat the cr[B]umbs we used for trails
And disc[E]redit all the rogues,
liberty's cracked wi[A]thin the be[E]lls
The dem[A]on's in your hea[E]vens
and the an[B]gels in your he[E]lls
Boy[E]cott me and boycott this
and m[B]ute your children's mo[E]uths

They'll [C#m]be a holiday,
times o[B]f regret and sorrow
and wh[E]en they're pressed on stamps
we'll h[A]ope they're not forg[E]otten
So le[A]t's go down in his[E]tory,
