[G] [D]
[A] [D]
[G]
[D] I dreamed of one [A] evening [D] by a river of [Gm] discontent,
[D] A bump straight [F#m] into old Tom Paine, [Am] and running [G] down the road he went.
[D] Said I can't [A] stop right now child, [D] King George is [G] after [D] me,
He'd have a rope around my throat and [Am] hang me on the [G] liberty tree.
[D] And I will dance to Tom [A] Paine's bums, [Bm] I'll dance to [G] Tom [D] Paine's bums,
Dancing the [F#m] oldest boots I own [B] to the rhythm of Tom [G] Paine's bums.
[D] I will dance to Tom [A] Paine's bums, [D] dance to [G] Tom [D] Paine's bums,
Dancing the [F#m] oldest boots I own [A] to the rhythm [G] of Tom Paine's bums.

[Am] [Bm] [G]
[D] [Em] [D] [G]
[D] [Am] [Dm] Well I only talked [A] about freedom, [B] and [D] justice [G] for everyone,
[D] And since the very [F#m] first one I [D] spoke, I've been looking down the [G] barrel of a gun.
[D]
And they say I preached [A] revolution, [D] let me say in my [G] defense,
[Dm] That all I [F#m] did wherever I went [A] was to talk a lot of [G] common sense.
[D] And I will dance to Tom [A] Paine's bums, [Bm]
dance to [G] Tom Paine's [D] bums,
Dancing the oldest boots I own [Am] to the rhythm of [G] Tom Paine's [D] bums.
I will dance to [A] Tom Paine's bums, [D] dance to [G] Tom Paine's [Dm] bums,
Dancing the oldest [F#m] boots I [D] own to the rhythm of [G] Tom Paine's bums.
[A] Well, old Tom Paine ran so [D] fast, he left me [G] standing [D] still,
And there was a [F#m] piece of [D] paper in my hand, [A] standing at the top of the hill,
[D] And it said, this is the age [A] of reason, [Bm] these are the [G] rights of [D] man,
Kick off religion [F#m] and monarchy, [D] it was written in [G] Tom Paine's plan.
[D] And I will dance to Tom [A] Paine's bums, [Bm]
dance to [G] Tom Paine's [D] bums,
Dancing the oldest boots I [A] own to the rhythm [D] of [G] Tom Paine's bumps.

I will dance to Tom [A] Paine's bums, [D] dance to [G] Tom [D] Paine's bums,
Dancing the [F#m] oldest boots [D] I own to the rhythm of Tom [G] Paine's [Dm] bumps.
Well, old Tom Paine, [A] many [D] lies, nobody laughs, [G] nobody cries,
[D] Where he's [F#m] gone or how he fares, [A] nobody knows, [G] nobody cares.
[A] But I [D] will dance to Tom [A]
Paine's bones, [B] dance to [D] Tom [G] Paine's bones, [D] dance in the oldest
boots I own, [A] in the rhythm of Tom [G] Paine's bones.
