[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ We're spending [F] billions every year [C] For [Ab] guns and _ ammunition

_ _ [Bb] While [F] billions live in misery _ And [Bbm] [Db] billions die before us
[Ab] Don't sing my [Db] country tis of thee [Ab] But sing this little _ chorus
Should [Db] I _ ever be a soldier?
_ _ [Gb] Neath the red [Ab] flag I would [Db] _ fight
Should [Gb] a gun I [Db] ever shoulder?

_ [Db] Join the _ army of the _ toilers [Ab] Men and _ _ women fall in [F] line _
_ [Bbm] Wage [Eb] slates of the [Bbm] workers Do your [Eb] duty for the [Ab] cause for land

many a maiden [Bbm] pure [F] and fair
Her [Db] love and [D] pride must [Fm] offer On Mammon's altar [Db] in despair
[Gbm] To fill the [F] master's coffer The gold that pays the mighty fleet
[Bbm] From tender [Db] youth he squeezes [Ab] While brownie men [Db] must walk the [Eb] street
And face the [Ab] wintry _ breezes
[Db] Should I _ ever be a soldier?

Should [Gb] a _ gun I [Db] ever shoulder? _

Where hostile fleet [Abm] could never run?
[Gbm] Ain't that a fanny [F] notion? _ _
If you don't know the reason why [Db] Just strike for better wages
