G

[Verse 1]
   G                  D           
No man should have to live his 
    G
life a slave
        G          D              
For the few at the top that reap 
   G
the gold
     C                          
They murder every prophet for as 
 G
long as it's been told
    G          Am                
The enemies of both the pure and 
G
brave
      G                    D   
Lord, save us before there ain't 
               G
much left to save
   G                D              
We stopped work and held up in the 
G
camps
G              D        G
Underneath the Colorado stars
    C                          
The Baldwin Felts thugs and the 
 G
National Guard
     G            Am          G
Were called in to put out the lamp
         G                D       
With the blessings of our dear old
       G
 Uncle Sam

[Chorus]
    C              D          G  
The blood sure did flow up in 
      G/F#
Ludlow
    Em         D                 
The air became full of smoke and 
G
lead

Ludlow my friends
     C             D             
They left a lot of decent people 
G      C ? D
dead

[Verse 2]
    G             D                
The holes where a few had tried to 
G
hide
G                D                
Soon enough were turned to shallow 
 G
graves
       C                          
For at least eleven children that no
G
 one there could save
    G             Am           G
The death special took another ride
      G                  D        
Oh at night I hear their lonesome 
        G
mothers cry

[Chorus]
           C              D       
'Cause the blood sure did flow up 
   G        G/F#
in Ludlow
    Em         D                 
The air became full of smoke and 
G
lead
    C              D          G  
The blood sure did flow up in 
G/F#   Em
Ludlow my friends
     C             D             
They left a lot of decent people

[Verse 3]
   G             D            G
An Engineer took mercy on our souls
   G                       D      
He stopped the train right in the 
        G
line of fire
        C                 G
Gave us folks a chance to escape the
 funeral pyre
    G            Am               
The story that I tell you must be 
G
told
       G           D              
Better wake up now before we're 
      G
all too old

[Chorus]
           C              D       
'Cause the blood sure did flow up
