Verse 1:
CHelp me sing
All you weary sC/Btrangers raise your voicEe
In this chain gang chorus in our younger daAmys
My brothers, we were naive sailors
FStorms we'd allG endure
COh the road, oh you who sing her praC/Bises, are dust andE bones
The places that she takes us, the choice is oAmurs
We wanted much more than our fatheFrs
While our mothers said their prayeGrs
CNow moving on up, to the eC/Bast side
We finally got a piece of thEe pie
Of the pie
Verse 2:
CBaby doll
All you women of the tC/Bravellers, your empty Earms
Your patient hearts in waiting, bless your heart Am
And your never ending patience
FI could not go on withoutG you
CWe're all the same
All blue and bright whiteC/B collars, we're all the saEme
Our troubles and our sorrows and underneatAmh
Blood and bone and mixture
ThFough we dance to different songGs
Bridge: (Not too sure about this part, though they seem to sound good when played as
octave chords)
CAnd your momma's aC/Blright
AmAnd your daddy's alright
CThey just seem a liC/Bttle bit weird
AmNo surrender,
Outro:
CEvery man, every womaC/Bn with a burden raEise your hands
Raise'em up to the firmament, see those haAmnds
Meet your brothers and your sisters, use your hands
FWe are our father's sonGs
