[F]
Now I'm a union man, [Gm] amazed at what I am.
[Bb] I [F] say what [Gm] I think that [F] the company stinks.
[C] Yes, I'm [Bb] a union [F] man.
When we meet in the local hall, [Gm] I'll be voting them all.
[Bb] With a hell [F] of a shout, [Gm] it's out [F] from the [C] south,
and the [Bb] rise of the [F] factories [C] fall.
[F] Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of [C] the union.
[F] Till the day [Gm] I die.
Till the day [F] I die.
As a union man, I'm wise.
[Gm] So the lies of the company spies.
[Bb] And I don't get [F] fooled [Gm] by the factory [F] rules,
[C] cause I always [Bb] read [F] between the lines.
And I always get my way, [Gm] if I strike for higher pay.
[Bb] When [F] I show my [Gm] card to [F] the Scotland Yard,
[C] this [Gm] is what [C] I say.
Oh, [F] you [C] don't get [F] me, I'm part of [Bb] the union.
[F] Till the day I [Gm] die.
[Bb] Till [C] the day [F] I die.
Stay apart!
[C] [F]
[Bb] [Am] [Gm]
[Bb] [C] [F] Before the union did appear, [Gm] my life was half as clear.
[Bb] Now I've [F] got the [Gm] power to the [F] working [C] hour,
and [Bb] every other [F] day of the year.
So though I'm a working man, I [Gm] can ruin the government's plan.
[Bb] I'm not [F] too hard, [Gm] but the sight [F] of my card
[C] makes me [Bb] some kind of [F] Superman.
[C] Oh, [F] you [C] don't get me, [F] I'm part of the union.
[Bb] Till [F] the [Gm] day I die.
[Bb] Till [C] the day I die.
[A]
[F] You don't get me, I'm part of the union.
[C] You don't get me, [F] I'm part of the union.
[Gm] Till [F] the day [Gm] I die.
[Bb] Till [C] the [F] day I die.
