One Big Union


Bb
Even one big union
               Eb
Can't help us now


Bb
Even one big union
              Eb
Can't help us now
     F7
The lines of blame are tangled
       Bb
far below the ground
     Bb 
The mines of fame will blow men
                        Eb
Shining gold dust all around
     F7
And even one big union
               Bb
Can't help us now


               Eb                             Bb
Don't it just tear me up to see your children cry?
                                          F7
When they got ice cream waiting up in the sky
           Eb                                Bb
Don't the truth look bad up next to a pretty lie?
                         F7                   Bb
Gets too high, then you know you're afraid to die



Even one big union
Can't help us now
The hand that holds us down
Will reach out to hold on
And which side are you on
That's got more angles than the Pentagon?
And even one big union
Can't help us now

Don't it just tear me up to see your children cry?
When they got ice cream waiting up in the sky
Don't the truth look bad up next to a pretty lie?
Gets too high, then you know you're afraid to die
Even one big union
Can't help us now

The boss says he might let me milk his golden cow
And false hope is the seed
In the field of greed that we must plow
And even one big union
Can't help us now
