"Tom Paine's Bones"(Graham Moore) As Performed by Dick Gaughan on "Outlaws And Dreamers" (2001) http://www.dickgaughan.co.uk/main.html D A Bm G As I dreamed out one evening by a river of discontent D F#m A G I Bumped straight in to Old Tom Paine as running down the road he went D A Bm G He said, "I can't stop right now child, King George is after me D F#m A G He'd have a rope around my throat and hang me from a liberty tree" Chorus: D A Bm G I will dance to Tom Paine's bones, dance to Tom Paine's bones D F#m A G Dance in the oldest boots I own to the rhythm of Tom Paine's bones. D A Bm G I will dance to Tom Paine's bones, dance to Tom paine's bones D F#m A D Dance in the oldest boots I own to the rhythm of Tom Paine's bones well,I only talked about freedom And justice for everyone But since the very first word I spoke I've been looking down the barrel of a gun And they say I preached revolution, Let me say in my defence That all I did wherever I went was to talk a lot of common sense. Chorus well,Old Tom Paine, he ran so fast he left me standing still And there I was, a piece of paper in my hand, standing at the top of the hill And it said, "This is the Age of Reason, these are the Rights of Man, Kick off religion and monarchy" it was written in Tom Paine's plan. Chorus Old Tom Paine, there he lies nobody laughs and nobody cries Where he's gone or how he fares nobody knows...and nobody cares..but.. Chorus X3
