There is Power in a Union by Joe Hill
There is Power in a Union
Capo:no capo
G C G
Would you have freedom from wage slavery?
D G
Then join in the grand industrial band
C G
Would you from mis'ry and hunger be free
D G
Then come do your share like a man
CHORUS:
G
There is power, There is power,
C G
in a band of working men
D G
When they stand hand in hand
G
There is power, There is power,
C G
that must rule in every land
D G
One industrial union grand
-Chorus-
G C G
Would you have mansions of gold in the sky
D G
And live in a shack, way in the back?
C G
Would you have wings up in Heaven to fly
D G
And starve here with rags on your back?
-Chorus-
If you've had enough of the blood of the lamb
Then join in the grand industrial band
If, for a change, you'd have eggs and ham
Then come do your share like a man
-Chorus-
If you like sluggers to beat off your head
Then don't organize, all unions despise
If you want nothing before you are dead
Shake hands with your boss and look wise
-Chorus-
Come all ye workers, from every land
Come join the grand industrial band
Then we our share of this earth shall demand
Come on, do your share like a man
-Chorus-
