Chords for The World Turned Upside Down - The DIggers - Leon Rosselson

_ [Cm] for coming and for [E] listening.
[B] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] I was asked to sing this and I do [F#] often end with it because it's a song
[A] that everybody _ _ [C] knows if they [B] know any of mine at all.
[A] _ [B] _ _ _ Recorded by [C#] lots of other people more famous
than [B] me. _
[E] _ _ _ [N] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ [E] _ _ It's _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ the story of this digger of the 17th century. _ _ _
It's [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#]
1649.
In 1999 there was _
[N] an event
_ _ on St George's Hill which is _ _ near Weybridge _ and which is a very posh Surrey town [G] actually.
_ _ _ _ [N] They wanted _ to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the founding of the digger community,
April 1st 1649 it was. _ _ _ _
I had this _ _ whole _ _ _ _ _ lot of concerts and events and discussions
a song about Lin San [Fm] Lido, Lin San Lido digger.
[F#m] _ [B] At _ _ [E] the _ _ [G#m] end there [N] was a gathering of _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ extremely
expensive _ mock Elizabethan mansions with high [B] security.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ Pot singers because of the
_ [B] security.
_ _ [Fm] _
This British I think was it, or this John Lennon, also brought the [B] house up.
[E] So it became political. _
_ _ _ [D] _ [C#] _ [B] _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ But the digger [Am] community [F#] was lasted about a year
[E] _ _ and then it was driven, [Fm] it was destroyed by _ _ the _ [N] _ _ soldiers and the landowners and the clergy
particularly _ a _ certain Parson Platt who [Fm] was very [B] vindictive.
_ So there [E] we are this is a song that
[G] commemorates a defeat _ as _ _ we _ less often do.
But [B] _ I [G] have to say this that Parson Platt,
who remembers [E] Parson Platt?
I know who remembers [B] Parson Platt, one of the biggest
_ [E] _ live on in the _
_ [A#] _ writings, in [A] Lin San Lido's [B]
writings.
_ [A] So it's not quite [E] clear who won that.
_ This is the song, do join in if you've lost chance to sing.
In _ 1649 _ to St George's Hill, _ a rightly bound neck force of genius came to show
_ _ the land. _

[B] _ _ _ _ we've got [A] a breed who feeds the [B] rich while poor [E] are scarred. _
We work, we eat together, _ we need [B] no salt.
_ _ We [A] will not bow to the [F#m] hostiles, our [E] favourite,
to the Lord still we are free. _ _
Though we [B] are poor, _ you give us [A] all, [E] stand up for [B] glory.

_ _ _ _ From the meadows, _ the orders came, _ _ they sent [A] the hired men and troopers [E] to wipe out the nigger
slaves, tear down their cottages. _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ They were [A] dispersed, but [E] still the vision lingers on.
_ _ _ You poor take courage, _ _ you [B] rich take care.
_ The [A] Lord has made a common thread.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ We [A] come in peace, the [E] orders [B] came to [E] cut them down. _
We come [A] in peace, [E] the orders came to cut them down.
