Long-haired preachers [G] come out [D] every night, I try to tell you what's wrong [A] and what's right,
[D] But when asked [G] about something [D] too deep, They will answer [A] in voices so sweet,
You will eat, you will eat fine, fine, In that glorious land in the sky,
Where you fly, work and pray, [G] live on haze, [D] You will fly [A] in the sky [D] when you die, that's a lie,
The [G] starvation army [D] they play, And they shout and they clap [A] and they pray,
But when they got [G] all your poems [D] on the drum, They will tell [A] you when you're [D] on the bum,
You will eat, you will [A] eat fine, fine, In that glorious [D] land in the sky,
Where you fly, work and pray, [G] live on haze, You will fly [A] in the sky [D] when you die, that's a lie,
Holy [G] rovers and [D] jumpers come out, And they roll and they [B] jump and they shout,
Give [D] your money [G] to Jesus [D] they say, And you'll eat on that glorious day,
You will eat, you will [A] eat fine, fine, In that glorious land in [D] the sky,
Where you fly, work and pray, live [G] on haze, You'll [D] get by in the sky when you die, that's a lie,
Working folks of [G] all countries [D] unite, Side by side we for freedom [A] will fight,
When [D] this world and its wealth we have gained, To the [A] characters we'll [D] sing this refrain,
You will eat, you will eat [A] fine, fine, When you've learned [D]
to chop some wood,
[G] Do you good, [D] and you'll eat [A] in that sweet fine [G] pie, that's [D] a lie,
