Verse 1
(A minor) I can hear the rumbling river
as it rushes underground.
I can hear the breakers crashing,
I can (C major) hear the breakers (A minor) pound.
I can stand beneath the waterfall
and shout with all my might.
I can hear ten thousand (C major) voices
making ready (E major) for a (A minor) fight.
I can see the little hobo
as he shuffles down the street
I can hear him in the diner
as he (C major) bums a bite to (A minor) eat
For ten years he stoked the furnace,
heard that factory whistle blow
Got laid off by automa (C major) tion, boys,
and it (E major) put him on the (A minor) road
Well, I met another fellow
as I wandered (G major) all about (A minor)
He was mining down in Hazard
till the (C major) Union sold him (A minor) out
Yes, they worked him in the coal mines
till his back and his arms were sore
Then they put him on the (C major) blacklist boys
and he (A minor) can't go (E major) back no (A minor) more
I can see the sharecrop farmer
as he wipes his (G major) sweaty (A minor) brow
He can see the crop is failing
but (C major) it ain't his anyhow
(A minor) See the dust clouds swirling
on his paid -off farm and land
Watch him hunker (C major) down,
and see it (E major) trickle through his (A minor) hands
Well I met a nice young negro boy,
about seventeen or so
Said he didn't like the southern jails,
but (C major) he felt that he had to (A minor) go
Saying mom and dad were negroes,
and my son will be one too
And I guess it's up to (C major) me,
because we've (E major) given up on (A minor) you
And as I passed an Air Force base,
a young man I did meet
With his shiny wings of silver
and his (C major) uniform so (A minor) neat
Saying, don't want to bomb them,
sir,
it fills me with dismay
But orders, they are orders,
(C major) and you (E major) know I must obey (A minor)
Well, I've been walking
through this country
and my eyes are open wide
There's things I've seen and
heard
you couldn't ima (C major) gine if you (A minor) tried
I've been talking to some people
and one thing I understand
Great blood is rising (C major) fast
There's a (E major) rumbling in the (A minor) land
