Which Side Are You On

C

Em Em (hammer on from an open A and 
D strings into the E minor)


[Verse 1]
Em              D      Em
This government had an idea
    C                  Em   A5
And parliament made it law  (play A5
 in the open position and give it a 
little bend)
Em              D      Em
It seems like it's illegal
   C                   Em
To fight for the union any more


[Chorus]
Em              D      Em
Which side are you on, boys?
C                  Em  A5
Which side are you on?
Em              D      Em
Which side are you on, boys?
C                  Em
Which side are you on?

[Verse 2]
Em              D      Em
We set out to join the picket line

    C                  Em   A5
For together we cannot fail
   Em              D      Em
We got stopped by police at the 
county line
           C                  Em
They said, "Go home boys or you're 
going to jail"


[Chorus]
Em              D      Em
Which side are you on, boys?
C                  Em  A5
Which side are you on?
Em              D      Em
Which side are you on, boys?
C                  Em
Which side are you on?

[Verse 3]
Em              D      Em
It's hard to explain to a crying 
child
    C                  Em  A5
Why her Daddy can't go back
Em              D      Em
So the family suffer but it hurts me
 more
    C                  Em
To hear a scab say Sod you, Jack


[Chorus]
Em              D      Em
Which side are you on, boys?
C                  Em  A5
Which side are you on?
Em              D      Em
Which side are you on, boys?
C                  Em
Which side are you on?

Em


[Verse 4]
Em              D      Em
I'm bound to follow my conscience
    C            Em  A5
And do whatever I can
Em              D      Em
But it'll take much more than the 
union law
    C               Em
To knock the fight out of a working 
man


[Chorus]
Em              D      Em
Which side are you on, boys?
C                  Em  A5
Which side are you on?
Em              D      Em
Which side are you on, boys?
C                  Em
Which side are you on?
