[Walk-up]
G

Verse 1:
C
Help me sing
               E
All you weary strangers raise your voice
                                           Am
In this chain gang chorus in our younger days
🎸

My brothers, we were naive sailors
G
Storms we'd all endure
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/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
                      E
All you women of the travellers, your empty arms
                                                 Am
Your patient hearts in waiting, bless your heart

And your never ending patience
G
I could not go on without you
C
We're all the same
                         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
  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/B
And your momma's alright
Am
And your daddy's alright
C/B
They just seem a little bit weird
Am
No surrender,


Outro:
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
G
