Chords with lyrics

Verse
  G+G       G7G7     C majorC       G+G
We will sing one song of the meek and humble slave,
         A7A7     D7D7
The horn-handed son of the soil,
   G+G    G7G7      C majorC       G+G
He's toiling hard from the cradle to the grave,
    E minorEm        D MajorD    D7D7    G+G
But his master reaps the profits from his toil.

  G+G        G7G7     C majorC       G+G
Then we'll sing one song of the greedy master class,
          A7A7      D7D7
They're vagrants in broadcloth, indeed,
  G+G     G7G7     C majorC      G+G
They live by robbing the ever-toiling mass,
   E minorEm         D MajorD   D7D7   G+G
Human blood they spill to satisfy their greed.

G+G   C majorC     G+G      C majorC       G+G
Organize! Oh, toilers, come organize your might;
          G7G7     C majorC       G+G
Then we'll sing one song of the workers' commonwealth,
    E minorEm       A7A7  D7D7  G+G
Full of beauty, full of love and health.

Verse
  G+G       G7G7     C majorC     G+G
We will sing one song of the politician sly,
        A7A7      D7D7
He's talking of changing the laws;
G+G    G7G7     C majorC            G+G
Election day all the drinks and smokes he'll buy,
      E minorEm       D MajorD   D7D7   G+G
While he's living from the sweat of your brow.

   G+G       G7G7     C majorC       G+G
Then we'll sing one song of the girl below the line,
          A7A7       D7D7
She's scorned and despised everywhere,
G+G       G7G7      C majorC         G+G
While in their mansions the "keepers" wine and dine
     E minorEm      D MajorD   D7D7    G+G
From the profits that immoral traffic bear.

G+G   C majorC     G+G      C majorC       G+G
Organize! Oh, toilers, come organize your might;
          G7G7     C majorC       G+G
Then we'll sing one song of the workers' commonwealth,
    E minorEm       A7A7  D7D7  G+G
Full of beauty, full of love and health.

Verse
  G+G       G7G7     C majorC         G+G
We will sing one song of the preacher, fat and sleek,
        A7A7      D7D7
He tells you of homes in the sky.
G+G      G7G7    C majorC        G+G
He says, "Be generous, be lowly, and be meek,
    E minorEm          D MajorD    D7D7    G+G
If you don't you'll sure get roasted when you die."

   G+G      G7G7     C majorC        G+G
Then we sing one song of the poor and ragged tramp,
        A7A7     D7D7
He carries his home on his back;
G+G     G7G7       C majorC         G+G
Too old to work, he's not wanted 'round the camp,
   E minorEm       D MajorD   D7D7   G+G
So he wanders without aim along the track.

G+G   C majorC     G+G      C majorC       G+G
Organize! Oh, toilers, come organize your might;
          G7G7     C majorC       G+G
Then we'll sing one song of the workers' commonwealth,
    E minorEm       A7A7  D7D7  G+G
Full of beauty, full of love and health.

Verse
  G+G       G7G7     C majorC        G+G
We will sing one song of the children in the mills,
          A7A7         D7D7
They're taken from playgrounds and schools,
G+G     G7G7      C majorC         G+G
In tender years made to go the pace that kills,
    E minorEm          D MajorD  D7D7   G+G
In the sweatshops, 'mong the looms and the spools.

   G+G       G7G7     C majorC       G+G
Then we'll sing one song of the One Big Union Grand,
         A7A7    D7D7
The hope of the toiler and slave,
G+G      G7G7     C majorC         G+G
It's coming fast; it is sweeping sea and land,
    E minorEm      D MajorD   D7D7    G+G
To the terror of the grafter and the knave.

G+G   C majorC     G+G      C majorC       G+G
Organize! Oh, toilers, come organize your might;
          G7G7     C majorC       G+G
Then we'll sing one song of the workers' commonwealth,
    E minorEm       A7A7  D7D7  G+G
Full of beauty, full of love and health.
