Concord 1777 by Lake Fork Verne
Concord 1777
D G D
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
A
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled;
D G D
Here once the embattled farmers stood;
E7 A
And fired the shot heard round the world.
D G D
The foe long since in silence slept;
A
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps,
D G D
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
E7 A
Down the dark stream that seaward creeps.
D G D
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
A
We set to-day a votive stone on,
D G D
That memory may their deeds redeem,
A D
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
G D
O Thou who made those heroes dare
A
To die, and leave their children free, --
D G D
Bide Time and Nature gently spare
A D
The shaft we raised to them and Thee.
D G D
Here once the embattled farmers stood;
A7 D
And fired the shot heard round the world.
