Verse 3
Where e'er they may be found
Em 
 (E minor) 
Harry Simms was walkin'
down the track
One bright sun- shiney day
He was a youth of courage
His step was light and gay
He did not know the gun thugs
Was hiding on the way
To kill our brave young comrade
B 
Em 
This bright sun- shiney day  (B major)  (E minor) 
Harry Simms was killed on
Brush Creek
In nineteen thirty- two
B 
Em 
He organ (B major) ized the  (E minor) miners,
into the NMU
He gave his life in struggle
That was all that he could do
He died for the union, also for me and you
