THE LEGEND OF PAUL REVERE
written by Mark Lindsay and Terry Melcher
performed by Paul Revere and the Raiders
tab transcribed by Collins Crapo <roxtar@srv.net>
E / / / 2 / /
A E
In a little town in Idaho way back in '61
A E F# B7
A man was flyin' burgers; gee, it seemed like lots of fun
E A B
But to his friend the bun boy, he confessed it's misery
A E B7 E
"I think I'd like to start a group, so come along with me."
CHORUS:
A B
And all you sta-ations across the na-ation
F# A E
Please play our records for your congre- ga-ation
Verse 2:
The band soon started boomin'; they were rakin' in the coins
They found a few musicians and persuaded them to join
And Paul Revere decided, since they had such new-found fame
"We need a fancy title," and the Raiders they became
(chorus)
Verse 3:
They soon packed up for Hollywood to reap their fortunes there
The streets aren't really paved with gold and you can't live on air
And then Dick Clark approached them, said "I know a thing or 2:
I'll put you on a TV show and make big stars of you."
(chorus)
Verse 4:
Now things are goin' groovy and we really can't complain
Though the pace of rock and rollin' nearly drives us all insane
And everybody's pushin', sayin' "Give it all you can!"
I've come to think of it, our business manager's our biggest fan
(chorus)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RAIDERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
