Misc Traditional – Ninety And Nine Industrial Army (Guitar)

           C                    G      C
There are ninety and nine that live and die

       C              G
In want and hunger and cold,

    C
That one may revel in luxury,

     G                    C
And be wrapped in its silken fold;

 E              Am            E      Am
The ninety and nine in their hovels bare,

 C                          G      C
The one in his palace with riches rare.

 C                           G      C
The one in his palace with riches rare.

       C                      G          C
They toil in the fields, the ninety and nine,

         C                G
For the fruits of Mother Earth;

      C
They dig and delve in the dusty mine,

     G                        C
And bring its rich treasures forth;

         E         Am              E     Am
But the wealth released by their sturdy blows

 C                    G         C
To the hands of the one forever flows

 C                    G         C
To the hands of the one forever flows

        C                          G      C
By the sweat of their brows the desert blooms,

       C                     G
And the forest before them falls;

    C
Their labor has builded many homes

     G                  C
And cities with lofty halls

 E                  Am        E        Am
But the one owns cities and homes and lands,

 C                               G    C
While the ninety and nine have empty hands.

 C                               G     C
While the ninety and nine have empty hands.

           C              G       C
The night so dreary, so dark, so long,

     C                      G
At last shall the morning bring;

    C
And over the land the victor's song

     G                    C
Of the ninety and nine shall ring

 E        Am         E       Am
And echo afar, from zone to zone

 C                         G        C
“Rejoice, for labor shall have its own."

 C                         G        C
 Rejoice, for labor shall have its own.
