[Verse]
     G        D7          G
I've traveled 'round this country

     C                G
From shore to shining shore

   D7             G
It really made me wonder

    C        D         G
The things I heard and saw.
[Verse]
  G       D7    G
I saw the weary farmer

  C               G 
A-plowing sod and loam

  D7                G
I heard the auction hammer

  C        D        G
A-knocking down his home
[Chorus]
        G
But the banks are made of marble

       D              G
With a guard at every door

        G
And the vaults are stuffed with silver

         D              G
That the farmer sweated for
[Verse]
  G       D7     G
I saw the seaman standing

C           G
Idly by the shore

  D7                G
I heard the bosses saying

        C        D      G
"Got no work for you no more."
[Chorus]
        G
But the banks are made of marble

       D              G
With a guard at every door

        G
And the vaults are stuffed with silver

         D              G
That the seamen sweated for
[Verse]
  G       D7    G
I saw the weary miner

          C                  G
Scrubbing coal dust from his back

  D7                 G
I heard his children crying

       C       D        G
Got no coal to heat the shack
[Chorus]
        G
But the banks are made of marble

       D              G
With a guard at every door

        G
And the vaults are stuffed with silver

         D             G
That the miner sweated for
[Verse]
     G       D7       G
I've seen my brothers working

       C               G
Throughout this mighty land

  D7                G
I prayed we'd get together

      C      D      G
And together make a stand
[Chorus]
          G
Then we might own those banks of marble

       D              G
With a guard at every door

         G
And we'd share those vaults of silver

         D             G
That we have sweated for
