It seems like it's illegal

To fight for the union any more

We set out to join the picket line
  C majorC         E minorEm
For together we cannot fail
  E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm
We got stopped by police at the county line
      C majorC         E minorEm
They said, "Go home boys or you're going to jail"

Verse 3:
E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm
It's hard to explain to a crying child
  C majorC         E minorEm
Why her Daddy can't go back
E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm
So the family suffer but it hurts me more
  C majorC         E minorEm
To hear a scab say Sod you, Jack

Verse 4:
E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm
I'm bound to follow my conscience
  C majorC      E minorEm
And do whatever I can
E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm
But it'll take much more than the union law
  C majorC        E minorEm
To knock the fight out of a working man

Which side are you on, boys?

C majorC         E minorEm
Which side are you on?
