_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ Oh, all to [D] the borders, _ [Am] Vermonters come down [Em] With your britches of [Bm]
deerskin and [E] jackets
[Am] of brown With your [B] red woolen caps and your [Am] moccasins
comp To the [Em] gathering [B] summons [D] of trumpet [E] and drum
_ [G] Come down with your rifle, let grey wolf [D] and fox
_ [Em] Howl on in [Bm] the shadow of [Em] primitive [Am] _ rocks Let [Em] bear feed securely from pig pen and [Am] stall
_ [E] Here's two-legged [E] game for your powder and ball
And _ cheer, cheer, the Green _ Mountaineer And cheer, _ cheer, the Green _ _ _ Mountaineer _ _ _ _ _ _
On the south came the Hessians, our [Am] land to police
And [Em] armed for the battle [D] while [Am] canting of peace
On [Em] our east came [B] the British, the [Am] red-coated band
To [Em] hang up [Bm] our leaders [D] and eat up our [Em] land [G] Oh, all to the rescue, for Satan shall work
[Em] No gain for the legions of Hampshire [Am] and York
They [Em] claim our possession, the pitiful [Am] knaves The [Em] tribute [D] we pay shall [E] be prisons and graves
And _ cheer, cheer, the Green _ _ Mountaineer And cheer, _ cheer, the Green _ _ Mountaineer _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
We owe no [B] allegiance, we bow to [Am] no throne [Em] Our ruler is [F#]
law and [G#] the law is [Am] our own
Our [Em] leaders themselves are our own [Am] fellow men
Who can [Em] handle the [Bm] sword and the [Dm] scythe and [Em] the pen
_ [G] Hurrah for Vermont, for the land that we till
Must [Em] have sons to defend her from valley [Am] and hill
[F#] Our vow is recorded, our banner _ unfurled
In the [E] name of Vermont [G] we [E] defy all the world
And _ cheer, cheer, the Green _ Mountaineer And cheer, cheer, the Green _ Mountaineer
And cheer, _ cheer, the Green _ _ _ Mountaineer _ _ _ _ _ _ _
