[A] [D]
[G] [A] [D]
In [G] 1814 we took a little [A] trip
Up on the coast, [D] jackin' down the mountain
We took a little break [G] in the hills
Took a little [A] pee
And caught a bloody [D] finish in a tide of water
Our guns and a British cap were comin'
Wasn't not many as it was a while ago
Once more and they began a runnin'
From Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down [G] the river and seen the British call
[A] Must have been [D] a hundred of them gettin' on the ground
It was so [G] hot it made the bugles ring
[A] We stood beside [D] our cotton bells and finished that thing
Our guns and a British cap were comin'
Wasn't not many as it was a while ago
Once more and they began a runnin'
Down from Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
And we ran through the pines and we ran through the brambles
We ran through the [A] bushes where we [D] could go
We ran so fast that the house couldn't carry us
Down from Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[G] We [A]
[D] [G]
[A] [D] said [G] we could take a bath and we [A] [D] looked up in the eye
So [G] we could see their faces [A] well
Then we opened up the [D] squirrel guns and gave them a hell of a count
Our guns and a British cap were comin'
Wasn't not [E] many as it [D] was a while ago
Once more and they began a runnin'
Down from Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We'd run up [G] and down into a barrel and then we'd [A] bend
And grab the nail and [D] we'd lift it far enough to round
Feeling the 17 [G]-inch balls flyin' in [A] behind
When we set the [D] fire on the near-blue spine
[Gbm] [Bm] [Gm]
[Gbm] Woo!
