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