[G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ This was for the workers [Eb] who toil night [Bb] and day [Eb] by hand and by brain, [F]
to earn your pay
who [Bb] for centuries long passed for [Eb] no more than [Bb] your brain, [Eb] have fled for [Bb] your countries
[F] and counted [Bb] your days.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] In our factories and [Eb] mills, in the shipyards [Bb] and mines,
[Eb] we've often been told to [F] keep up with the times, for [Bb] our skills are not needed.
[Eb] They streamline [Bb] the job and [Eb] we're sly and cruel, [Bb] and stopwatch, [F] apply if they [Bb] ever are.
We're the first ones to [Eb] starve, we're the first ones [Bb] to die,
[Eb] the first ones in line for [F] that pie in the sky,
and [Bb] we're always last when [Eb] the train is [Bb] shed out,
[Eb] or the worker [Bb] is working when [F] the fat [Bb] chance of our life is gone.
And when the sky darkens and [Eb] the prospect [Bb] is war,
who's given [Eb] a gun and [Cm] been pushed to the fore and [Bb] expected to die? _
No, _ we've never owned one lousy handful of earth.
We're the first ones to [Eb] starve, we're the first ones [Bb] to die,
[Eb] the first ones in line for [F] that pie in the sky,
and [Bb] we're always last when [Eb] the train is [Bb] shed out,
or [Eb] the worker [Bb] is working when [F] the fat chance [Bb] of our [Eb] life _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
[Bb] is gone.
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die,
the first ones in line [F] for that pie in the sky,
[Bb] and we're always last [Eb] when the train [Bb] is shed out,
[Eb] or the [Bb] worker is working [F] when the fat [Bb] chance of our life is gone.
We're the first ones to starve, [Eb] we're the first [Bb] ones to die,
[Eb] the first ones in line [F] for that pie in the sky,
[Bb] and we're always last [Eb] when the train [Bb] is shed out,
[Eb] or the worker [Bb] is working [F] when the fat [Bb] chance of our life is gone.
And all of these things the [Eb] worker [Bb] has done,
[Eb] from filling the fields [F] to carrying the gun,
we've been [Bb] healed to the blood [Eb] since time first [Bb] began,
[Eb] and no one's [Bb] expected [F] to carry [Bb] the charge. _ _ _ _ _ _
