This is a song about a bunch of guys and women who were inspired by the Bible.
In the 1640s they were inspired by the Bible to chop off the head of the King of England.
In 1649, up in [D] George's Hill, a [C] ragged band they called the Diggers [G] came to show the [D] people's
will to [G] divide the land, Lord, and [D] defy the law.
They [C] were the [D] dispossessed reclaiming [G] what was theirs.
Come in peace, they said, to [D] dig and sow.
We [C] come to work the land in common [G] hand to make the [D] waste ground.
While this [G] earth's divided, we [D] will make whole, so [C] it shall be a [D] common treasury [G] for all.
The sin of property we [D] do not sustain.
No [C] man has any right to buy [G] and sell the earth for [D] private gain.
[G] By theft and murder [D] they took the land.
[C] Now everywhere the wolves [D] rise up at their [G] command.
They made the laws to [D] chain us well.
[C] The clergy does a lot with heaven [G] or they jam us into hell.
We will not worship the God [D] they serve.
[C] The God of freedom, fear, is [G] the ritual for most of.
We work, we eat together, we [D] need no source.
We [C] will not bow to the [G] masters of [E] tyrant.
To the Lord still we [G] are free, though we [D] are poor.
You [C] diggers all stand up for [G] glory, stand up now.

[C] [E] [G] the men of property the [D] orders came.
They [C] sent the hired men and traversed [G] to wipe out the [D] diggers.
They tear [G] down their cottages and [D] destroy their corn.
They [C] were dispersed, but [D] still the vision [G] lingers on.
You poor take courage, you [D] rich take care.
This [C] earth was made a common treasury [G] for everyone [A] to share all [G] things in common.
All [D] people one.
We come [C] in peace, the [A] orders came to cut [G] them down.

Now the parliament, ladies and gentlemen.
The world turned upside [D] down, Leon Russell wrote that.
