Intro 1

We're

Verse 1
D 
G 
low, we're low,
A 
we're very, very low
G 
A 
D 
As low as low can be
G 
A 
Rich or high, for we make them so
G 
A 
D 
In a miserable lot are we
Down, down we go
Am 
G 
We're so very, very low
A 
D 
To the hell of the deep sunk mines
A 
Am 
G 
We gather the proudest gems that glow
A 
G 
A 
D 
When the crown of a despot shines
G 
D 
And whenever he laughs upon our backs
G 
A 
Fresh loads he brings to lay
D 
Am 
G 
A 
We're far too low to vote the tax
G 
A 
D 
But we're not too low to pay
Am 
D 
G 
A 
We're low, we're low, mere rabble we know,
G 
A 
D 
but at our plastic power
Am 
G 
The mold at the Lordling's feet
A 
G 
A 
D 
will grow into palace, church, and town
G 
D 
And prostrate fall in a rich man's hall
G 
A 
And cringe at the rich man's door
D 
Am 
G 
A 
When you're not too low to build the wall
G 
A 
D 
G 
But too low to tread the floor
A 
G 
A 
D 
G 
A 
G 
A 
D 
Am 
We're in blue, we're low,
D 
G 
we're very, very low
A 
G 
A 
D 
Yet from our fingers glide
Am 
The silken flow and the
G 
A 
robes that glow
D 
Around the limbs of the sons of pride
G 
D 
And what we get and what we give
G 
A 
We know and we know our share
D 
A 
Am 
D 
G 
A 
We're not too low the cloth to weep,
G 
A 
D 
but too low the cloth to wear
Am 
We're low, we're low,
G 
we're very, very low
A 
G 
A 
D 
And yet, when the trumpets ring
Am 
G 
The thrust of a poor man's arm
A 
G 
will go through the heart of
A 
D 
the proudest king
G 
We're low, we're low,
D 
our place is below,
A 
we're only the rim of a mile
D 
Am 
G 
A 
We're not too low to kill the foe,
G 
A 
D 
but too low to touch the score
G 
We're low, we're low,
A 
we're very, very low,
G 
A 
D 
as low as low can be
G 
A 
Rich or high, for we make them so
G 
A 
D 
And a miserable heart, are we
G 
D 
And a miserable heart, are we
And a miserable heart,
A 
D 
Em 
G 
A 
G 
A 
D 
are we
G 
D 
In a miserable heart are we, are we
A 
In a miserable heart are we
