But I stood beside men

who were three -score and tattered,

We were dockers and teachers,

and those with no job to do

We were wo men an d children,

And we had so much to lose.

we knew what fascism meant.

denouncin' the Jews
Bb
F
Bb
To the East End of London we went
Eb
Bb
For I'd met refugees who
Gm
Bb
Eb

Germans, Italians and Jews
Bb
F
And I knew their despair,
Bb
Eb
but what they'd seen there,
Bb
F
Gm
and I couldn't let them be abused.

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

But I'll not re

gret the day that I stood

and London stood with me
Bb
F
And when the news spread
Bb
Eb
that the day had been won
Bb
F
and Moseley was limping away
Gm
Bb
F
There were shouts, there were cheers,
Bb
F
Bb
and I hear them all to this day
Eb
Bb
We all swore then
F
Gm
that we'd stand up again
Bb
Eb
F
Fsus4
for as long as our legs stood
F
Bb
F
And when we were gone,
Bb
Eb
our daughters and sons
Bb
F
Bb
would stand where we stood
Eb
Bb
It was the first time I'd heard
F
Gm
Bb
two tiny words said by every
Eb
F
Fsus4
wo man and man
F
Bb
F
Bb
Eb
And I say them still, and I always will,
Bb
F
Bb
No passer -on.
