by the way ... the Battle of New Orleans took place two weeks after the war was over. Communications being what they were in those days, it took still another week for the news of the cease fire to reach Jackson. == Johnny

Those chords and words are OK, but the words were written by Jimmy Driftwood to the old fiddle tune 'The Eighth of January" or "Jackson's Victory." Fiddlers always play it in D, in which the chords are D, G, and A7

Interesting and rather disgusting side-light to the battle. The British commander was killed, and taken home to England pickled in a cask of rum. Common sailors aboard the ship, ignorant of the cargo, discovered the leaky cask and proceeded to drink most of it.Slainte!
