[G] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] Yeah, this work for the workers [Eb] who
Swell night [Bb] and day
[Eb] By hand and by brain
[F]
Soon you'll pay you [Bb] for centuries
Long past for [Eb] no more than [Bb] your brain
[Eb] Have fled for [Bb] your countries
[F] And counted [Bb] your days
No [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] factories and mills
In [Eb] 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] with sly rule
[Bb] And stop once, [F] a pride they [Bb] ever are
We're the first ones to stop
We're [Eb] the first ones [Bb] to die
[Eb] The first ones benign
For [F] that pie in the sky
And [Bb] we're always black
When [Eb] the grey men [Bb] shed out
[Eb] For the workers' [Bb] work
And [F] when the match [Bb] has found
And when the sky darkens
And [Eb] the prospect [Bb] is war
[Ebm] Who's given a gun
And [Bb] they push to the fore
And they expect it to die
For the land of
For we've never owned one
Lousy hand for the road
We're the first ones to stop
[Eb] 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 grey men [Bb] shed out
For [Eb] the workers' [Bb] work
And when [F] the match has [Bb] found
[Eb] [Bb] We're [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [F]
[Ab] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] the first ones to stop
We're the first ones to die
[Eb] The first [Bb] ones in line
[F] For that pie in the sky
[Bb] And we're always last
[Eb] When the grey men [Bb] shed out
[Eb] For the [Bb] workers' work
And [F] when the match [Bb] has found
We're the first ones to stop
[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 grey men [Bb] shed out
[Eb] For the [Bb] workers' work
And [F] when the match [Bb] has found
And all these things
The [Eb] worker [Bb] has done
[Eb] From tilling the fields
[F] To carrying the gun
We've been [Bb] yoked to the plough
[Eb] Since time first [Bb] began
[Eb] And all [Bb] is expected
[F] To carry [Bb] the gun
