Verse 1
G 
I've traveled round this country
C 
G 
from shore to shining shore
D 
G 
and it really made me wonder
D 
G 
all the things I heard and saw.
I saw the poor dirt farmer
C 
plow inside alone
G 
D 
G 
And I heard the auction hammer
D 
G 
comin' knockin' down his home
C 
But the banks are made of marble
G 
D 
G 
with a guard at every door
C 
G 
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
D 
G 
that the farmer's sweatin' for
I saw the seamen
C 
G 
standing idly by the shore
D 
G 
And I heard the bosses saying,
D 
G 
Got no work for you no more
C 
G 
But the banks are made of marble
D 
G 
With a guard at every door
C 
G 
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
D 
G 
Got the semen sweated for
And I saw the weary man
C 
G 
Scrubbing coal dust from his back
D 
G 
And I heard his children crying
D 
G 
Got no coal to heat our shack
C 
But the banks are made of marble
G 
D 
G 
With a God at every door
C 
G 
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
D 
G 
That the miners sweated for
C 
G 
D 
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
And I saw the soldiers march
C 
To another foolish war
G 
D 
G 
Thousands dead and billions  wasted
D 
G 
And they keep on wasting more
C 
But I've seen my people working
G 
C 
Throughout this mighty land
G 
D 
G 
And I pray we get together
D 
G 
And together make a stand
C 
Then we'll own those banks of marble
G 
D 
G 
And we'll open every door
C 
G 
And we'll share those vaults of silver
D 
G 
That we all have sweated for
C 
G 
Yeah, the banks are made of marble
D 
G 
With a guard at every door
C 
G 
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
D 
G 
That we all have sweated for
You
