Verse 1
A (A minor) short life of (G major) trouble
in a dark (E minor) and dusty (A minor) mine
It's been my occupa (G major) tion,
now I (E minor) walk that picket (A minor) line
I was down in Bloody Har (G major) lan
when they tried (E minor) to organ (A minor) ize
The miners faced star (G major) vation,
air could (E minor) see it in their (A minor) eyes.
The company hired (G major) gun thugs,
many miners (E minor) died they (A minor) said.
Then come to kill the (G major) Union,
but they lost (E minor) their lives (A minor) instead.
And his which side are you on, boy,
which side are you on?
You're (G major) either for the rich man
or (E minor) the Union standing (A minor) strong
I came to New York (G major) City
in the year (E minor) of 43 (A minor)
We were fighting Hitler (G major) 's army
in the (E minor) war across (A minor) the sea
But they would not hire (G major) a miner
to do (E minor) a workman's (A minor) job
At fifty cents an (G major) hour,
my pockets (E minor) they will (A minor) rob
I'll never trust a (G major) rich man
for as (E minor) long as I draw (A minor) breath
To keep his golden mansions (G major)
He'll starve (E minor) his son to (A minor) death
And it's which side are you on, boy,
which side are you on?
You're (G major) either for the rich man
or the (E minor) Union standing strong (A minor)
And when my life is (G major) over
Don't mourn (E minor) my passing (A minor) long
Just organize resist (G major) ance
And keep (E minor) the Union strong (A minor)
And here's to every miner (G major)
Who dares (E minor) to take a (A minor) stand
Who lives to feed his (G major) family
But then dies (E minor) a Union man (A minor)
And it's which side are you on, boy?
Which side are you on?
You're (G major) either for the rich man
Or the (E minor) Union standing strong
(A minor) Which side are you on,
boy, which side are you on?
You're (G major) either for the rich man
or the (E minor) Union standing strong. (A minor)
