Pete Seeger – Joe Hill (Guitar)

  E
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,

A                E
Alive as you and me.

     A                   E
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"

   F#                B7
"I never died," says he,

                     E
"I never died," says he.

    E
"In Salt Lake, Joe," by god says I,

    A              E
Him standing by my bed,

      A               E
"They framed you on a murder charge."

     F#                B7
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead,"

                       E
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead."

     E
"The copper bosses shot you Joe,

     A                     E
They killed you Joe," says I.

       A                 E
"Takes more than guns to kill a man,"

     F#             B7
Says Joe, "I didn't die."

                    E
Says Joe, "I didn't die."

E
Standing there as big as life,

A                E
Smiling with his eyes.

    A                E
Joe says, "What they forgot to kill"

     F#        B7
Went on to organize,

               E
Went on to organize!"

 E
"Joe Hill ain't dead," he says to me

     A                E
"Joe Hill ain't never died."

      A              E
Where working men go out on strike,

    F#               B7
Joe Hill is at their side,

                     E
Joe Hill is at their side.

     E
From San Diego up to Maine

   A              E
In every mine and mill

      A              E
Where working men go out on strike

     F#                 B7
Says he "You'll find Joe Hill,"

                        E
Says he "You'll find Joe Hill."

  E
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,

A                E
Alive as you and me.

     A                   E
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"

   F#                B7
"I never died," says he,

                     E
"I never died," says he.
