Tune to Eb Intro | A |
D Come all you friends and workers A tale I’ll tell to you Bm Of how we built our union A D G A You call the NMU
D A G We fought the goons and gun thugs D A G Around the ocean shores D Bm I guess I got my head caved in A D A A dozen times or more
D A All you fonies (Bound to lose) D All you fonies (Bound to lose) G A D G A All you fonies (Bound to lose, lose, lose)
D A G You had a phony set up D A G You called the SIU D Bm A We had a ratty ship and a crummy bunk D G A With roaches in our stew
D A G We fought against the weather D A G And the stooges too D Bm To win a clean bunk and mess hall A D A For newly-comes like you
D A All you fonies (Bound to lose) D All you fonies (Bound to lose) G A D G A All you fonies (Bound to lose, lose, lose) G A D G A All you fonies (Bound to lose, lose, lose)
D For me to try to change this whole big mess around by myself A I wouldn’t last longer than a snowball in hell D But there’s a hundred thousand of me now G And we fought like hell to get here A D So you fight like hell to keep what we shed blood to earn Bm G D For eight hours a day (and overtime pay)
A Bm We battled it out with you big shot men G We’ve seen times that looked pretty dark A Until we brought the union in
D A All you fonies (Bound to lose) D All you fonies (Bound to lose) G A D G A All you fonies (Bound to lose, lose, lose)
D A All you fonies (Bound to lose) D All you fonies (Bound to lose) G A D All you fonies (Bound to lose, lose, lose) G A D All you fonies (Bound to lose, lose, lose)
G A D All you fonies (You're about to lose, lose, lose)
