Joe Hills Ashes

D A G D There's a cold wind blowing though the southern cave mines Somewhere in Parks City and its closing time Bm D To another dead end week in a vacant life D People talking bout Joe and what went down, How you cant find justice in a Utah town Bm D D7 So you tip your hat to a stranger and walk on by G D Waiting on a chance to shine G D Waiting on a chance to shine A In the sidewalks, factories and fields you'll find Bm G A dust filled dream laying flat on the ground D A G Waiting on a chance to shine D A G Waiting on a chance to shine D The world is full of lonely fools Staring at each other from across the rooms Bm D Wishing they could get up their nerves to speak their minds D But its hard for a man to stand his ground Locked up in state prison and beaten down Bm D D7 Watching shadows creeping cross the walls through sleepless nights G D Waiting on a chance to shine G D Waiting on a chance to shine A Justice is a woman in a rocking chair Bm G Combing the tangles from her long black hair D A G Waiting on a chance to shine D A G Waiting on a chance to shine D There's an empty feeling in sugar house park And the memory looks in long after dark Bm D As the people try to tell the story of a crooked trial D How the workers can stop a speeding train Tying their ships in the ocean with mighty chains Bm D D7 Every wheel in gods creation, every mill and mine G D Waiting on a chance to shine G D Waiting on a chance to shine A Everytime I dream about better times, Bm G I can feel Joe's ashes stirring deep inside D A G Waiting on a chance to shine D A G Waiting on a chance to shine D There's a cold wind blowing though the southern cave mines Somewhere in Parks City and its closing time Bm D To another dead end week in a vacant life
