[A]
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, [D] alive as [Bm] you [A] and me, says I.
But Joe, [E] you're ten [A] years dead, [E] I never died, says he.
I never [A] died, says he.
In Salt Lake City, Joe, says I, [D] him standing [Bm] by [A] my side,
they framed you [E] on a [A] murder [E] charge, says Joe, I never died, says Joe, I never [A] died.
Copper bosses, they shot you, Joe, [D] they filled you [A] full of lead,
takes more than [E] guns to kill a [A]
man, [E] says Joe, and I ain't dead, says Joe, and [A] I ain't dead.
[E] [D] [A]
And standing there as big as life, [D] and smiling [Bm] [A] with his eyes,
says Joe, what [E] they forgot [A] to kill, [E] went on to organize, went on to [A] organize.
In San Diego, up to Maine, [D] in every mine [A] and hill, where working men [E] defend [A] their rights,
[E] it's there you'll find Joe Hill, it's there you'll find [A] Joe Hill.
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, [D] alive as you [A] and me, says I.
But Joe, [E] you're ten [A] years dead, [E] I never died, says he.
I never died, [A] says he.
