I was very happy that Joan went to NYC to support OWS and in fact really
happy that someone filmed her with a perfect angle so we can see at last
the chords she plays. Especially, the Esus4 chord that makes it sound so
particular. You will notice that her capo is on 4th, but she is, as usual,
half a tone down, so put yours on 3rd. See the video at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MvkIwOSwSE, if it is still there at the
time you read this). The fingerpicking pattern as she played at woodstock
is easy and I tabbed it here for you. She sometimes plays the E*** part,
as I named it, in a simplier way

E*** : Move your little finger from string two to three, 2nd fret.
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.
"The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,
They shot you Joe" says I.
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
"In Salt Lake City, Joe," says I,
Him standing by my bed,
"They framed you on a murder charge,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead."
And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes.
Says Joe "What they can never kill
Went on to organize,
Went on to organize"
From San Diego up to Maine,
In every mine and mill,
Where working men defend their rights,
It's there you find Joe Hill,
It's there you find Joe Hill!
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.
