[Verse 1]
     G       D             Em
In October '36 they took a trip
            Bm
The men who made the ships
C                             D
Searching for some kind of salvation
     G                  D
With head held high and dignified
    Em                Bm
The townsfolk and the passers by
C                             D
Held them in some kind of admiration


[Chorus]
G        D           Em      C G
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
                  Bm

                        Bm

        D       G   C  G/B  Am  
who has learned them?
G  C  D



[Verse 2]
G               D
Soldiers in the frontline
       Em               Bm
Of the struggle for the right to 
work
    C                              
Did god give me these hands just to
    D
 be idle?

          G            D
While his holiness the Bishop
         Em                 Bm
With his infinite Christian wisdom
     C                             
Like Peter when the cock crew, had 
  D
denied them

[Verse 3]
        G               D
And the yes-men and the press-men
          Em   Bm
To London town all came down
C                                 
Brought with them the curious and 
  D
deranged
    G               D
And forty years has since gone past
           Em                 
But you're still down there if 
        Bm
you're working class
    C                       
Can anybody tell me what has 
 D
changed?
