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
