[D] [Bm]
[A] [D]
[G] [D]
Oh, this is an old story [Bm] that's rarely [A] ever [D] told
Raping of the country of [G] the [D] valley
The men who came to reap with a musket and a [A] bible
[D] They wanted to take the valley
The valley, [G] the [D] valley
[A] They wanted [D] to take [A] the valley
And
[D] to the iron masters
They [A] always get [D] their way
And so far they had [B] some people [A] at the lines
[D] All the men and the women [G] and the children
[D] On a Sunday it was down [Bm] to the chapel [A] in the town
[D] The preacher [A] said get [D] generously
Get generously, [G] get generously
[A] The people [D] they get [A] generously
And [D] to the iron masters
[A] They always get [D] their way
The union men is [E] secret on the dark side of the [D]

Bells and candles that may have been [Bm] cut
All the people come [A] on out and [D] most guys they were [E] joyed in [D] repaying
Rebecca, Rebecca

It's [G] no sin [A] to fight to be free
[D] From the smoky stacks of mud down [B] to the hills [A] of Everwild
[D] From Swansea down to the [G] Merseyside and [D] Liverpool
Where the union leaders crush, [Bm] the unions [B] can be smashed
[D] They blacken the face [G] of the [D] country
The country, [G] the [D] country
[A] They blacken the face of the country
And
[D] to the iron masters
[A] They always get [D] their way
On a head of [Eb] bracken is crocheted through a house
Ten blagons out of the green of the valley
And on his bed of grey is the image that they gave
It stands there God forgive
[D] Forgive them, forgive [A] them
And all who run in hell with
[D] And to the iron masters

And to the iron masters
[A] They still get [D] their way
