Intro:  E

  E
listen to the fife and snare,

marching through the square
  C#m
Stencil flags of insurrection,
  B
dancin' through the air
 E
Read the rants of a Thomas Paine
A          E
of modern day
A                E
I have felt a spirit,
          B            E
that has not yet gone away

   E
Boycott me and boycott this
     B                     E
and mute your children's mouths
 A
When they sing along
              E
to this very song
  A                B
Spread word all around

      A      E
Hey, FOP, boycott me
 B               C#m
for I am standing up
      A              E
I'd rather taste a rebel's glory
      B                E
than drink blood from your cup'
      A              E
I'd rather taste a rebel's glory
       B
than drink blood from your cup

 E
Read the rants of those in jail

and those who rode the rails
     C#m
Then lay down on the roads we paved
          B
eat the crumbs we used for trails
        E
And discredit all the rogues,
                    A          E
liberty's cracked within the bells
       A               E
The demon's in your heavens
          B              E
and the angels in your hells

   E
Boycott me and boycott this
     B                     E
and mute your children's mouths
 A
When they sing along
               E
to this very song
  A                B

Hey, FOP, boycott me
 B               C#m
for I am standing up
      A              E
I'd rather taste a rebel's glory
       B               E
than drink blood from your cup'
      A              E
I'd rather taste a rebel's glory
       B
than drink blood from your cup

 E
The scorned few of today

are the heroes of tomorrow
        C#m
They'll be a holiday,
       B
times of regret and sorrow
      E
and when they're pressed on stamps
       A                   E
we'll hope they're not forgotten
     A                 E
So let's go down in history,
    B               E
blacklisted and boycotten

   E
Boycott me and boycott this
