Sweetheart On The Barricade
BmThey closed up the F#sooty gates of BmAyres and CompF#any
BmWe stood on the F#picket line, my E7Jennifer and me
We bBmlocked the street, F#now the lorries E7come and turn about
There's Gnothing getting in there and there's nothing getting out
Oh, she's Djust a tender Gthing, she's Drisking life and Glimb
My Bmsweetheart's Aon the barriGcade
My Dheart it skips a Gbeat, there'll be Dfighting in the Gstreet
But Bmhungry folk forAget to be aGfraid
My sweetheart's F#on the barriBmcade E7 Bm F#
And here come the managers to hit us on the sly
And tinpot generals with glory in their eyes
Owners, moaners, Judases and Janes
But righteousness is in our eyes, we've got no time for games
In her manner she is mild and fairly just a child
My sweetheart's on the barricade
For a fair wage in her hand, the equal of a man
She'll stand front rank in the parade
My sweetheart's on the barricade
Instrumental verses
DShe's running leaflets through the Aalley
DShe's passing hymn books at the Arally. F#Halleluiah!
GFriends and neighbours, won't you join the cause
DDrill it in the tiny minds of them that make the laws
That Gworkers are human, we're really just the same
We've E7got to have the nourishment to fill a human frame
Oh, we're Bmpeople not a Gmob and we Bmonly wants a Gjob
My Bmsweetheart's Aon the barriGcade
We've Bmhad it up to Ghere, too Bmnumb to feel the Gfear
My Bmsweetheart's Aon the barriGcade
My Emheart it skips a F#mbeat there'll be Emfighting in the F#mstreet
My Emsweetheart's F#on the barriBmcade
