[Intro]
Am F
C G [Verse]
Am If you’re selling your soul,
F
working all day C G Overtime hours for bulls*it pay Am Well, nothing’s gonna
F
change if all you do C Is wish you could wake up and
G
it not be true [Chorus]
Am F Join a union C G Fight for better pay Am F You better join a union, brother C G Organise today [Post-Chorus]
F You’ll see where
the problem really lies C G When the union comes around Am F Rich men earning north of a million C F Wanna keep the working folk down C Am Wanna keep the working folk down [Instrumental]
Am F C G [Verse 2] Am If you form a union,
F
you’ll soon find C That working people are
G
all of one kind Am So we ain’t gonna punch down
F
on those who need C A bit of understanding and
G
some solidarity Am F C G That ain’t right, friend [Verse]
Am If you’re struggling with your health
F
and you're putting on the pounds C Doctor gives you opiates
G
to help you get around Well,
Am
wouldn’t it be better
F
for folks like
you and me C If medicine was subsidised
G
and the healthcare was free [Chorus]
Am F Join a union C G Fight for better pay Am Common and join a union,
F
sister C G Organise today [Post-Chorus]
F It comes down to
the self same thing C G If you’re black or white or brown Am F Rich men earning north of a million C F Wanna keep the working folk down C Am Wanna keep the working folk down [Instrumental]
Am F
C G [Verse] Well,
Am
we know your culture wars
F
are there to distract C While libertarian billionaires
G
avoid paying tax Am You want to talk about bathrooms
F
while the flood waters rise C The forest is on fire and
G
the wind burns our eyes Am F C G Something’s wrong here [Verse] Well,
Am
they want to divide us,
F
because together we’re strong C Are you gonna take action now,
G
you’ve sung your damn song? Am If you don’t like the rich man
F
having total control C G You better get the union to roll [Chorus]
Am F Join a union C G Fight for better pay Am F Common and join a union C G Organise today [Post-Chorus] F Don’t matter if
you live in the city C Or some little
G
country town Am Rich men earning
F
north of a million Am Rich men earning
F
north of a million Am I say, "Rich men
F
earning north of a million C F Wanna keep the working folk down C Am Wanna keep the working folk down [Instrumental]
Am F C G [Outro]
Am If you’re selling your soul
F
and you're working all day C G Overtime hours for bulls*it pay Am Join a union
