I was only a lad of 16
G

But I stood beside men
G

who were three -score and tattered,
G

and average in between
C
G
C
G
We were dockers and teachers,
D
Em
busmen and engineers,
G
C

and those with no job to do
G
C
G

We were wo men an d children,
G

equal in union,

Atheists, Christians and Jews,

And we had so much to lose.

denouncin' the Jews
G
D

To the East End of London we went
C

For I'd met refugees who
Em
G
C
D
Germans, Italians and Jews
G
D
And I knew their despair,
G
C
but what they'd seen there,
G
D
Em
and I couldn't let them be abused.

Now 3 ,000 fascists,
G
C
their uniforms black,
G
D
Em
had set out to march on that day
G
D
And six thousand policemen
G
C
intended to greet them
G
D
G
by making clear their way
C
G
But we were there ready,
D
Em
our nerves they were steady
G
C
D
One hundred thousand in bus
G
D
G
And we planted our feet along Cable Street
C
G
D
G
D
Em
And we sang, they shall not pass
G
C
D
We sang, they shall not pass
G
D
G
And all us young lads we were sent
C
To the side streets to stop
G
D
Em
The police breaking through
G
D
And with swift hands we made
G
C
D
C
G
Strong barricades out of
D
G
anything we could use
C
G
But they came to charge us,
D
Em
but they couldn't barge us
G
C
D
With fists, batons and hooves
G
D
With as good as we got,
G
C
we withstood the lot
G
D
Em
G
C
D
For we would not be moved
C
G
Yes, there was vi olence,
Em
G
C
And I saw things a lad shouldn't see
D

But I'll not re

gret the day that I stood

and London stood with me
G
D
And when the news spread
G
C
that the day had been won
G
D
and Moseley was limping away
Em
G
D
There were shouts, there were cheers,
G
D
G
and I hear them all to this day
C
G
We all swore then
D
Em
that we'd stand up again
G
C
D
Dsus4
for as long as our legs stood
D
G
D
And when we were gone,
G
C
our daughters and sons
G
D
G
would stand where we stood
C
G
It was the first time I'd heard
D
Em
G
two tiny words said by every
C
D
Dsus4
wo man and man
D
G
D
G
C
And I say them still, and I always will,
G
D
G
No passer -on.
