Chords

To the tune of "Just Before the Battle, Mother" [Verse 1]
A                       D
The crisis darkly looms before us,

E                               A
Our chains are being tigheter drawn

A                           D
The dollar rules the great Republic

E                                 A
And rights of men are laughed to scorn
[Chorus]
A                         D
If our rights we would recover

E                          E7
we must at the polls combine

     A                         D
Our only prospect for the future

E                       A
Is union all along the line.
[Verse 2]
A                                D
For long we've put our trust in parties

E                          A
Whose promises are subtle snares

A                                D
The buy and sell the poor like cattle

E                   A
To pander to the millionaires
[Chorus]
A                         D
If our rights we would recover

E                          E7
we must at the polls combine

     A                         D
Our only prospect for the future

E                       A
Is union all along the line.
[Verse 3]
A                       D
Make a stand against oppression,

E                           A
Nor at the feet of Mammon cower

A                           D
And let the ballot be our weapon,

E                            A
To make the tyrant feel our power
[Chorus]
A                         D
If our rights we would recover

E                          E7
we must at the polls combine

     A                         D
Our only prospect for the future

E                       A
Is union all along the line.
