Part Of The Union     by     Strawbs

CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: D  D-D-D

D                     Em
Now I'm a union man, amazed at what I am
  G          D                Em      D
I say what I think, "That the company stinks"
     A     G     D
Yes, I'm a union man


D                                       Em
When we meet at the local hall, I'll be voting with them all
       G         D            Em            D
With a hell of a shout it's, "Out, brothers out"
        A           G         D
And the rise of the factory's fall

CHORUS:
A          D
Ohhhh, you don't get me I'm part of the union
    A                D
You don't get me I'm part of the union
    D
You don't get me I'm part of the union
 G        D     Em    G        A     D
'Till the day I die, 'till the day I die


D                               Em
As a union man I'm wise, to the lies of the company spies
      G         D             Em      D
And I don't get fooled by the factory rules
         A             G         D
'Cause I always read between the lines.


D                             Em
And I always get my way, if I strike for higher pay
       G       D           Em       D
When I show my card to the Scotland Yard
A       G      D
This is what I say...


CHORUS:
A          D
Ohhhh, you don't get me I'm part of the union
    A                D
You don't get me I'm part of the union
    D
You don't get me I'm part of the union
 G        D     Em    G        A     D   D D-D-D
'Till the day I die, 'till the day I die


INSTRUMENTAL: A D A D  D G D Em G A D


D                               Em
Before the union did appear, my life was half as clear
         G       D            Em      D
Now I've got the power to the working hour
     A          G          D
And every other day in the year


D                                  Em
So though I'm a working man, I can ruin the government's plan
           G       D         Em          D
Though I'm not too hard, the sight of my card
         A            G    D
Makes me some kind of Superman


CHORUS:
A          D
Ohhhh, you don't get me I'm part of the union
    A                D
You don't get me I'm part of the union
    D
You don't get me I'm part of the union
 G        D     Em    G        A     D
'Till the day I die, 'till the day I die


CHORUS:
A   D
You don't get me I'm part of the union
    A                D
You don't get me I'm part of the union
    D
You don't get me I'm part of the union
 G        D     Em    G        A     D   A-D
