Billy Bragg – There Is Power In A Union (Ukulele)

G                             C
There is power in a factory, power in the land

G                         D 
Power in the hand of the worker

G                                  C
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand

 G                  D   G
 
[tab]G                                    C
Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers blood

G                                  D
The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for

G                                    C
From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud

G                                D  G
War has always been the bosses way, sir

G
The Union forever defending our rights

                            D
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite

G                                      C
With our brothers and our sisters from many far-off lands

G                   D   G
There is power in a Union

G                                 C
Now I long for the morning that they realise

G                                   D 
Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us

G                                   C
But who'll defend the workers who cannot organise

G                                         D     G
When the bosses send there lackeys out to cheat us?

G
Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own

                            D
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?

G                                C
What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child

G                   D  G
There is power in a Union

G
The Union forever defending our rights

                            D
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite

G                                       C
With our brothers and our sisters from many far-off lands

G                  D   G
There is power in a Union
