C                                                        F
Late at night in the silver light, in the stables eating hay
C                              G
In came a man, an artisan, and we both rode away
C                                                   F
He whispered in my upturned ear, "it's time to get an' go
C                                           G                 C
'Till this job's done, we breathe as one, head for the outbound road"

C           F                       C
Me and Paul Revere, oh, me and Paul Revere
C                F        C       F
I'm the horse he chose of course, me and Paul Revere

C                                                       F
He told me that a thousand troops, were out to do their worst
C                                G                     C
"They want Sam Adams and Hancock, we've gotta get there first!"
C                                             F
Along the way to Lexington, the Regulars drew guns
C                                      G              C
They gave chase and we set pace, those boys they were outrun

C           F           C           C
Me and Paul Revere, oh, me and Paul Revere
C             F     C    G           C
On the run to Lexington, me and Paul Revere

C                                                        F
We turned North through Cambridge Town, along the mystic road
C                                  G               C
Nostrils flared and gallop strong, my legs on fire below
C                                              F
We got up to where they slept, woke Adams and Hancock
C
And they said "Who's that?
C                         G           C
That's Larkin's horse, she's steady as a rock"

C                  F
Brown Beauty is my name, Brown Beauty is my name
C                         F                       C
Revere and I one and the same, Brown Beauty is my Name

C                                                    F
The Grenadiers are on the move, let's fill the powder horns
C                                 G                C
How much more has that horse got, Concord must be warned
C                                                    F
Paul Revere gave me the heel, we charged the Concord road
C                              G
But we were taken prisoner, by ten men on patrol

C           F                           C
Me and Paul Revere, oh, me and Paul Revere
C                F        C       F      G    C
I'm the horse he chose of course, me and Paul Revere

He told them that a hundred men, had spread the good alarm
C                                G                C
"You better head away from here, for Lexington is armed"
C                                                   F
Revere stood tall and fooled them all, told them what to do
C                             G                       C
And they let him go but sadly so, they took me with them too

C                                             F
I never saw Revere again, I know he thinks of me
C                                 G                 C
And wonders where I ended up, the night we set men free
C                                                      F
I'm just the horse that no one knows, I'm famous though inside
 C                    Am      G             C
Standing proudly in a field, I was Revere's ride
