*I can't tell the lyrics in this spot; any help is welcome.


INTRO: C  G

G                                    C               G
They march in line to carry signs protestors one and all
                                   A7                   D
They'd rather go to prison than to heed their country's call
G                                         C              G
"Get out of here, get out of there, let's have an end to war"
                                        D             G
I'm glad they weren't around to say get out of Valley Forge


CHORUS:
    G              C                G
The Minute Men are turning in their graves
                             A7              D
Washington and Jefferson are crying tears of shame
   G                   C              G
To see these men who'd rather live as slaves
    C              D                G
The Minute Men are turning in their graves


What's happened to our heritage, what's happened to our pride
Since when to free Americans * the other side
Did we send food to Hitler's troops or praise the enemy
Did all our children die in vain defending liberty


CHORUS


INTRO


(KEY CHANGE)


A                                      D              A
I can't condemn the man who built that picket line as wrong
                                      B7               E
But I fail to understand the man that won't defend his home
     A                                  D                A
Dear Lord I've got one little prayer, I pray in years to come
                                    E           A
Don't ever let those kind of people serve in Washington


CHORUS:
    A              D                A
The Minute Men are turning in their graves
                             B7              E
Washington and Jefferson are crying tears of shame
   A                   D              A
To see these men who'd rather live as slaves
    D              E                A
The Minute Men are turning in their graves
