Misc Traditional – The Right Will Prevail (Guitar)

          C            F           C
When the workingman's cause shall prevail

                                  G
then the class-rule of rich men shall cease

          C              F          C
and the true friends of labor shall hail

                       G      C
with a shout the glad era of peace

             C          G
right will reign by and by,

         G7                     C
when the working men come into power

            C7           F
right will reign by and by,

        C               G           C
Then gold thieves shall rule men no more

         C     F             C
whatsoever men sow they must reap

                                      G
Since the rich to the whirlwind have sown;

           C               F       C
more just laws they must learn to keep

                       G              C
then what workingmen earn they shall own.

             C          G
right will reign by and by,

         G7                     C
when the working men come into power

            C7           F
right will reign by and by,

        C               G           C
Then gold thieves shall rule men no more

       C                 F          C
Right ordains that old parties must die

                                  G
and make way for the growth of reform;

             C          F           C
truth and wisdom proclaim from on high

                 G           C
that triumph of labor must come

              C          G
right will reign by and by,

         G7                     C
when the working men come into power

            C7           F
right will reign by and by,

        C               G           C
Then gold thieves shall rule men no more

       C                 F          C
right, on earth, evermore then shall reign

                                G
and the angels will sing once again;

             C          F           C
while the workingmen join in the refrain,

                      G              C
"peace on earth and good will to all men"
