BOSTON TEA TAX SONG
From the American Revolutionary War
Key: G
-4-3 3-1 -1-1* 2 -3 -3
I snum I am a Yan-kee lad
-3 -4 4 -3 -2* 2 -1 3
And I guess I’ll sing a dit-ty
-4-3 3 -1 -1 -1* 2 -3 -3
And if you do not rel-ish it
-4 4 -3 -2* -3 -3 3
The more ‘twill be the pit-y
-3-4 -3 3 -2* 3 -3 -3 -3

-3 -4 4 -3 -2* -3 -3 3 3
But I warn’t ‘cause I’m a coun-try man
