1st Verse:
D MajorD             E minorEm
Nothing'll get lost if we work like we can
     A augmentedA           G+G
Till the smell of the earth is worn into our hands

You'll never get nowhere
    A augmentedA          G+G
If you only ask questions of love

2nd Verse:
Long ago people came to this town
To build their lives out of what they found
And now the town's a ruin
And the dirt on the ground
Is mixed in with the ashes of love

Gather with others and work like you can
G+G           E minorEm
To live like you can

3rd Verse:
You can keep your mouth shut better than I can
Accept and obey every law in this land
And when the wind blows your wages
Right out of your hands
You'll accept that wind
Doesn't blow around love

Chorus x2:
Gather with others and work like you can
To live like you can

Bridge:
A augmentedA      A/GA/G
In spite of, in spite of
G+G
Money, position and power
A augmentedA      A/GA/G
All the important things

I'm told we should be dreaming of

4th Verse:
The seasons are fixed with sun
Just like an old stone that'll never be thrown
Soon the spring will come
Like a distant object of love

5th Verse
And the spring tide and neap tide
Bring a rhythm to the land
With the oil on the saw
We can work like we can
What you lack in ability
You can gain pretty simply
Ignore the riches
The riches of love

Gather with others and work like you can
To live like you can
