I love [D] those who labor, I sing of the farmers [Eb] and weavers and fishermen and miners as well.
Now all you who hear me, I pray you draw near me, before you grow weary, I'll sing of myself.
I was brought up in plenty until I was twenty, a joy to myself as but children can be.
A joy to my father, a joy to [Ab] my mother, the pain of my country was nothing to me.
[N] My school days being over, I became a rover to Russia [Abm] and China, to France and [Eb] to Spain.
[Ab] I lived at my leisure, I lived but for pleasure and so none the wiser, to England I came.
I thought it no danger to follow a stranger, but with time changing a friend he [Eb] became.
For the joys of a lover can equal no other, forever anew and yet always the same.
Good fortune attending, we don't lack a living, our children a blessing, a joy [Ebm] to renew.
[Db] But to live amid plenty can only torment me, when the wealth of the country belongs to the few.
[N] I join with the angry, I join with the hungry, for long years of anguish the price will be paid.
To hate and to anger I am not a stranger, I welcome the danger and yet I'm [Ab] afraid.
For [E] I fear the fate of the rebels and [Ab] fighters, who ransom [Abm] the future with torture [Eb] and pain.
As the trial comes near, if I find I can dare it with joy, I will share [Ab] it, no longer afraid.
[Eb] For I've learned to be angry, I've learned to be lonely, I've learned to be many, I've [C] learned to be one.
I've earned all [Db] my friends, even foes will commend me, I stand with the many, I am not alone.
[N] In the presence of fighters I find a new peace, in the company of workers replenish myself.
Of miners and weavers, of rebels and dreamers, when I sing of my brothers, I sing of myself.
Now all you who hear me, I pray you draw near me, before you grow weary, I'll sing of myself.
I was brought up in plenty until I was twenty, a joy to myself as but children can be.
A joy to my father, a joy to [Ab] my mother, the pain of my country was nothing to me.
[N] My school days being over, I became a rover to Russia [Abm] and China, to France and [Eb] to Spain.
[Ab] I lived at my leisure, I lived but for pleasure and so none the wiser, to England I came.

For the joys of a lover can equal no other, forever anew and yet always the same.
Good fortune attending, we don't lack a living, our children a blessing, a joy [Ebm] to renew.
[Db] But to live amid plenty can only torment me, when the wealth of the country belongs to the few.
[N] I join with the angry, I join with the hungry, for long years of anguish the price will be paid.
To hate and to anger I am not a stranger, I welcome the danger and yet I'm [Ab] afraid.
For [E] I fear the fate of the rebels and [Ab] fighters, who ransom [Abm] the future with torture [Eb] and pain.
