Here's the chorus.
Oh, you [C] can't scare me.
I'm sticking [C] to the union.
I'm [G] sticking to the union.
I'm [C] sticking to the union.
_ Oh, you can't scare me.
I'm sticking to the union.
I'm [G] sticking to the union.
Till [C] the day I die.
Now, is there anybody who's not singing?
Because it seems to me there's a lot more
faces out there with their mouths [G] closed.
_ Oh, you [C] can't scare me.
I'm sticking to [G] the union.
I'm sticking to the union.
[G] I'm sticking to the [C] union.
_ Oh, you can't [F] scare me.
I'm [C] sticking to the union.
I'm [G] sticking to the union.
Till the day I [C] die.
Now, we've had to modernize this a little bit
because it had a rather,
_ _ _ not misogynistic last verse,
but one that could have been a little [G] more woman-friendly.
So, we've changed the last verse
and we've added two new ones,
but other than that, it's fine. Woody Guthrie.
This is better than the original.
Wait for it. _ _ _ _
[G] There once was a union man
[F] who never [C] was afraid
of goons and ginks
and company finks
and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
He went to the union hall
[F] when a meeting [C] it was called
[G] and when the National Guard came round
she always stood her [C] ground.
Oh, you [C] can't scare me.
I'm sticking to the union. _
[G] I'm sticking to the union.
I'm sticking to the union.
Oh, [E] you can't scare me.
I'm [C] sticking to the union.
I'm [G] sticking to the union.
Till the [C] day I die. _
Now, this union man was wise
to the tricks of company spies.
[G] She couldn't be fooled by company stools.
She'd always organize the guys.
[C] She always got her way.
[F] When she struck for better pay
[G] she'd show her card to the National Guard
and this is what she'd say.
Oh, [F] you can't scare me.
[C] I'm sticking to the union.
[G] I'm sticking to the union.
[C] I'm sticking to the union.
Oh, you can't scare me.
I'm sticking to the union.
[G] I'm sticking to the union.
Till the day I die. _
Now, you women
who want to be free
[F] take a [C] tip from me.
[G] Break out of that mold we've all been sold.
We've got a fighting history.
We will have our say.
[C] We will get equal pay.
Like Mother Jones, we'll roll those bones
and fight the union way.
Oh, you [C] can't scare me.
I'm sticking to [G] the union.
I'm sticking to the union.
I'm sticking to the union.
[C] _
Oh, you can't scare me.
I'm sticking to the union.
