Tom: D major
Verse 1
and the strike was on
G
D
They moved us miners out of doors,
A
We moved into tents up at Old Ludlow
my children,
G
D
soldiers guarding the railroad bridge.
G
D
Every once in a while a bullet would fly,
A
D
kick up gravel under my feet.
I was so afraid you'd kill my children,
G
dug us a cave that was seven
A
D
down inside this cave to sleep.
That very night you soldiers waited
G
D
till all us miners was asleep.
G
D
You snuck around our little tent town
You struck a match and a
blaze had started
G
D
You pulled a trigger, shoved a gatling gun
G
I made a run for the children
D
But the firewall stopped me
A
D
13 children died from your guns
I drag my blanket to a wire fence corner
G
D
I watch the fire till the blaze dies down
A
D
While your bullets killed us all around
Never will forget the look on the faces
G
D
of the men and women that awful day
A
D
and lay the corpses of the dead away
Told the Colorado governor
to phone the president
G
D
And tell him call off his National Guard
A
D
So he didn't try so very hard
Our women from Trinidad,
they hauled some potatoes
G
Hopped a waltzing bird in a little cart
D
G
Sold the potatoes
D
and they brought some guns back
A
D
And they put a gun in every hand
State soldiers jumped us
in the wire fence corners
G
D
They did not know that we had these guns
A
D
You should have seen them poor boys run
We took some cement
and walled the cave up
G
D
Where he killed his thirteen children inside
G
D
I said, God bless the Mine Workers Union
A
D
And then I'd hold my head and cry
