INTRO:Am VERSE:Am E Am I come from East VirginiaC Em Am Where I was born an old back shedAm E Am My father moved us to New OrleansC Em Am Where he was forced to use his handsAm E Am Then late one night they took him away from usC Em Am Because he learned to use his headAm E Am My mother cried when the judge said "life"C Em Am The union was his only crimeAm E Am I'm still told to leave it all behindC Em Am I spent my whole life on a picket line Screaming, CHORUS:C F Workers UniteC G Don't give up the fightC F C Workers of the world unite.G Am Unite! VERSE:Am E Am At my old age I'm still working as a slaveC Em Am Those bosses work you to your graveAm E Am They claim to be like common folkC Em Am They packed their bags when the levees brokeAm E Am For five long days I watched those waters riseC Em Am I was forgotten and left to dieAm E Am I've got no country I've got no homeC Em Am Or no one to call my ownAm E Am I'm driftin' back to East VirginiaC Em Am I'm going back to that ol' dark shedAm E Am I remember what my father saidC Em Am When he was waiting on line for bread Screaming, CHORUS:C F Workers UniteC G Don't give up the fightC F C Workers of the world unite.G Unite! CHORUS:C F Workers UniteC G Don't give up the fightC F C Workers of the world unite.G Am Uni-i-i-ite!
