There Is Power In A Union [G]Billy Bragg

GThere is power in a factory, power in the C land
GPower in the hand of the D worker Dsus4 D
But it G all amounts to nothing if together we don’t C stand
G There is power in a D Uni-Gon

GNow the lessons of the past were all learned with workers C blood
GThe mistakes of the bosses we must D pay for Dsus4 D
From the G cities and the farmlands to C trenches full of mud
GWar has always been the bosses D way, G sir

G The Union forever defending our rights
G Down with the blackleg, all workers uD nite
GWith our brothers and our sisters from C many far-off lands
G There is power in a D Uni-Gon

GNow I long for the morning that C they realise
GBrutality and unjust laws cannot deD feat us Dsus4 D
GBut who'll defend the workers who C cannot organise
GWhen the bosses send their lackeys out to D cheat G us?

G Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the D bone?
GWhat a comfort to the widow, a C light to the child
G There is power in a D Uni-Gon

G The Union forever defending our rights
G Down with the blackleg, all workers uD nite
GWith our brothers and our sisters from C many far-off lands
G There is power in a D Uni-Gon
