[Eb] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] I've traveled [Bb] around this country [Eb] from shore to [Bb] shore.
[F] It really made [Bb] me wonder [F] the things I [Bb] heard and saw.
I saw the weary farmer
[Eb] plowing [Gm] his sod [Bb] and loam.
[F] I heard the auction [Bb] hammer [F] just a-knocking down [Bb] his home.
But the banks are made of marble [F] with a guard.
[Bb]
And the boats are stuffed with silver that [F] the farmer [Bb] swayed for.
I saw weary miners
[Eb] scrubbing coal dust.
[C] We needn't hear those [Bb] children crying, we've [F] got no coal to heat.
[Bb] But the banks are made of marble [F] with a guard at every door.
And the boats are stuffed with silver that the miner [Bb] swayed for.
I saw the seamen standing [Eb]
idly [Bb] by the shore.
[F] And I heard the owner saying, [Bb] got [F] no work for you [Bb] no more.
But the banks are made of marble with [F] a guard at [Bb] every door.
And the boats are stuffed with silver [F] that the seamen [Bb] swayed for.
[F]
[Eb] [Bb]
[C] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
I've seen [F] my brothers working throughout [Eb] [Bb] this mighty land.
[F] I pray we get [Bb] together [F] and together make [Bb] a stand.
Then we own those banks of marble [F] with a guard at [Bb] every door.
And we share those boats of silver [F] that we have swayed [Bb] for.
[N]
