I Guess I Planted Words: Guthrie. Music: Bragg 1997:


Verse 1:
E MajorE        F# minorF#m
I guess I planted some long lonesome seed of a song
C# minorC#m  B minorBm        A augmentedA
Way down inside me long ago
E MajorE            F# minorF#m
And now I can't remember when it was
C# minorC#m            B minorBm        A augmentedA
But it joined up with the rest of them and grows
E MajorE             A augmentedA
It's such a little song it don't compare
E MajorE               A augmentedA
With all your big ones you hear everywhere
E MajorE              C# minorC#m    BB G# minorG#m
But when it dawns way in the back of your mind
  C# minorC#m     B minorBm       A augmentedA
The big ones are made up of the little kind

Chorus:
E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE     A augmentedA
Union Song. Union Battled.
E MajorE   C# minorC#m F# minorF#m        BB   E MajorE
All added up. Won us all what we got now.
E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE     A augmentedA
Union Song. Union Battled.
E MajorE   C# minorC#m F# minorF#m        BB   E MajorE
All added up. Won us all what we got now.


Verse 2:
E MajorE           F# minorF#m
I can't even start to look around here
C# minorC#m  B minorBm    A augmentedA
Without hearing this song
E MajorE            F# minorF#m
And seeing all of us first separated,
C# minorC#m  B minorBm    A augmentedA
Hurt, apart and afraid
E MajorE          A augmentedA
And hungry for the union
E MajorE          A augmentedA
And so we kept on
E MajorE          C# minorC#m    BB    G# minorG#m
Singing and working, fighting till we got it.
C# minorC#m        B minorBm     A augmentedA
And this is the big union song I guess I hear.

Chorus:
E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE     A augmentedA
Union Song. Union Battled.
E MajorE  C# minorC#m    F# minorF#m      E MajorE
All added up. Won us all what we got now.
E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE     A augmentedA
Union Song. Union Battled.
E MajorE  C# minorC#m    F# minorF#m      E MajorE
All added up. Won us all what we got now.

E MajorE   F# minorF#m   C# minorC#m B minorBm A augmentedA


Verse 3:
E MajorE        F# minorF#m   A augmentedA
We fought there at your place
C# minorC#m  B minorBm        A augmentedA
We fought there on your ship
E MajorE            F# minorF#m
And I guess if you missed out on
C# minorC#m       B minorBm or G# minorG#m
The fight for our union,
   C# minorC#m     B#mB#m      A augmentedA      E MajorE     A augmentedA
You missed out on one awful big step ....... us people took.
