Utah Phillips — There Is Power In A Union

    	    	Вступление

[Verse 1]
D                           G
Would you have freedom from Wage slavery,
A                        D
Then join in the grand Industrial band;
                          G
Would you from mis'ry and hunger be free,
A                                D
Then come, do your share, like a man.

[Chorus]
         D                          G              D
There is power, there is power in a band of workingmen,
          A             D
When they stand hand in hand,
                                         G             D
That's a power, that's a power That must rule in every land—
      A              D
One Industrial Union Grand.

[Verse 2]
D                          G
Would you have mansions of gold in the sky,
    A                D
and live in a shack, way in the back?
                           G
Would you have wings up in heaven to fly,
    A                             D
And starve here with rags on your back?

[Chorus]
         D                          G              D
There is power, there is power in a band of workingmen,
          A             D
When they stand hand in hand,
                                         G             D
That's a power, that's a power That must rule in every land—
      A              D
One Industrial Union Grand.

[Verse 3]
D                       G
If you like sluggers to beat off your head,
     A                   D
Then don't organize, all unions despise.
                    G
If you want nothing before you are dead,
      A                             D
Shake hands with your boss and look Wise.

[Chorus]
         D                          G              D
There is power, there is power in a band of workingmen,
          A             D
When they stand hand in hand,
                                         G             D
That's a power, that's a power That must rule in every land—
      A              D
One Industrial Union Grand.

[Verse 4]
D                          G
Come, all ye workers, from every land,
A                         D
Come, join in the grand industrial band;
                          G
Then we our share of this earth shall demand.
     A                         D
Come on! Do your share, like a man.

[Chorus]
         D                          G              D
There is power, there is power in a band of workingmen,
          A             D
When they stand hand in hand,
                                         G             D
That's a power, that's a power That must rule in every land—
      A              D
One Industrial Union Grand.
