Liberty Tree
From Disney movie Johnny Tremain.
7 7 7 -7 -6 6 6 7
Plant the seed in our homeland boys,
-8 8 -8 7 -7 -6 6
Let it grow where all can see.
7 7 7 -7 -6 6 6 7
Feed it with our devotion boys,
-8 8 -8 7 -7 -6 6 Call it the Liberty Tree.
Chorus;
6 6 7 8 9 8 7 -6 7 6
It's a tall old tree, and a strong old tree,
7 8 8 8 8 7 8 8 8 8
And we are the sons, yes, we are the sons,
8 6 6 6 6 7
The sons of liberty.
(2)
Save it from the storm boys,
water down it's roots with tea,
and the sun will always shine,
on the old liberty tree.
(3)
March along with the fifer boys,
Always pay the tyrants fee.
Never give up the struggle boys,
fight for the libety tree.
(4)
Stand for the rights of man boys,
stand against all tyranny.
Hang the lamps of freedom boys,
high on the liberty tree.
