[Walk-up]
C, C/B, E, Am, F, G
Verse 1:
C Help me sing C/B E All you weary strangers raise your voice Am In this chain gang chorus in our younger days
My brothers, we were naive sailors
F G Storms we'd all endure C C/B E Oh the road, oh you who sing her praises, are dust and bones Am The places that she takes us, the choice is ours F We wanted much more than our fathers G While our mothers said their prayers C C/B Now moving on up, to the east side E We finally got a piece of the pie
Of the pie
Verse 2:
C Baby doll C/B E All you women of the travellers, your empty arms Am Your patient hearts in waiting, bless your heart
And your never ending patience
F G I could not go on without you C We're all the same C/B E All blue and bright white collars, we're all the same Am Our troubles and our sorrows and underneath
Blood and bone and mixture
F G Though we dance to different songs
Bridge: (Not too sure about this part, though they seem to sound good when played as
octave chords)
C C/B And your momma's alright Am And your daddy's alright C C/B They just seem a little bit weird Am No surrender,
Outro:
C C/B E Every man, every woman with a burden raise your hands Am Raise'em up to the firmament, see those hands
Meet your brothers and your sisters, use your hands
F G We are our father's sons
