C
I've traveled 'round this country
     F                C
From shore to shining shore
   G7             C
It really made me wonder
    G                  C
The things I heard and saw

[Verse 2]
  C
I saw the weary farmer
  F               C
A'plowing sod and loam
  G7                C
I heard the auction hammer
  G                   C
A-knocking down their homes

[Chorus]
        C
But the banks are made of marble
       G              C
With a guard at every door
        C
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
         G7              C
That the farmer sweated for

[Verse 3]
  C
I saw the fisherman standing
   F           C
So idly by the shore
  G7                C
I heard his bosses saying
              G               C
"Ain't got no work for you no more."

[Chorus]
        C
But the banks are made of marble
       G              C
With a guard at every door
        C
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
         G                 C
That the fisherman sweated for

[Verse 4]
  C
I saw the weary miner
            F                  C
A'Scrubbin' coal dust from his back
  G7                 C
I heard his children crying
       G                C
Got no coal to heat the shack

[Chorus]
        C
But the banks are made of marble
       G              C
With a guard at every door
        C
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
         G             C
That the miner sweated for

[Verse 5]
     C
I've seen my people working
       F               C
Throughout this mighty land
  G7                C
I prayed we'd get together
      G             C
And together make a stand

[Chorus]
             C
And we might own those banks of marble
        G              C
With no guard at every door
            C
And we will share those vaults of silver
     G               C
That we have sweated for
