Tonart: D major
Verse 1
D
A
D
G
On the 4th of October 1936,
D
A
Bm
was only a lad of 16
A
D
A
But I stood beside men
D
G
who were 3 score and 10
D
A
And every age in between
D
G
D
We were dockers and teachers,
A
Bm
busmen, engineers
D
G
D
A
and those with no jobs to do.
G
A
We were wo men and children,
D
G
equal in union,
D
Bm
Atheists, Christians and Jews,
G
D
A
G
and we had so much to lose.
D
G
A
For with Hitler in Germany,
D
G
Franco in Spain
D
Bm
We knew what fascism meant
A
D
So when Morsley came trouncing,
D
A
D
To the east end of London we went
G
D
For I'd met refugees who
Bm
D
G
A
Germans, Italians and Jews
G
D
And I knew their despair
G
for what they'd seen there
D
A
Bm
And I couldn't let them be abused
D
A
G
We had so much to lose
D
G
D
Now three thousand fascists,
A
G
their uniforms
D
G
D
A
Bm
Black had set out to march on that day,
A
G
An d six thousand policemen
A
D
G
intended to greet them
D
by making clear the way.
G
But we were there ready,
D
A
our nerves they were steady,
D
G
A
One hundred thousand in mass,
D
And we planted our feet
D
A
B
And we sang, they shall not pass
G
D
G
A
We sang, they shall not pass
D
Then all us young lads,
G
we were sent to the side streets
D
A
Bm
To stop the police breaking through
A
G
And with swift hands
D
A
Bm
G
we made strong bar ricades
D
A
D
out of anything we could use
G
D
And they came to charge us,
A
D
but they couldn't barge us
A
with fists, batons and hooves
G
D
With as good as we got,
A
D
G
we withstood the lot
D
A
Bm
B
for we would not be moved,
Bm
D
G
A
we would not be moved.
D
G
D
And yes, there was violence
A
and yes, there was blood,
D
G
A
and I saw things a lad shouldn't see.
D
G
D
G
But I'll not regret the day I stood
D
A
and London stood with me
D
A
And when the news spread,
D
G
the day had been won
D
A
Bm
and Morsley was limping away
B
D
There were shouts,
there were cheers,
there were songs,
D
A
D
and I hear them all to this day.
D
A
Bm
then we'd stand up again
D
A
for as long as our legs could,
G
A
and that when we were gone
D
G
our daughters and sons
D
A
would stand where we stood.
D
A
G
D
Was the first time I'd heard
A
Bm
two tiny words
D
G
A
said by every woman and man.
Now I say them still,
D
G
and I always will,
D
A
D
No passer -on.
