We lower our guns as he frantically waves their white handkerchief.

Not yet.
We negotiate the terms of [G] surrender.
I see George Washington [Dm] smile.
We escort their men out of [Bb] Yorktown.
They stagger home single [Dm] file, tens of thousands of people [Bb] flood the streets.
There are screams and church bells [Dm] ringing.
And as our [G] fallen foes retreat, [A] I hear the drinking song they're singing.
