Goodbye Joe Hill - Ver 2

E B Goodbye, Joe Hill, we've had some good times here. E I wish you could stay around for just another year. A But the battle line keeps movin' and I know that you can't stay. B E I guess sometimes it just works out that way. B Goodbye, Tom Joad, we'll meet, I don't know where. E We're a better kind of people for knowin' you were here. A It was a damn good fight, Tom, but we lost and that's a shame; B E I'm glad we stood and fought it, all the same. E Goodbye, Gene Debs, I know just where you'll be: B A E "While there's a man in prison, my soul can not be free." A Well, Gene, you tried to change them, but they beat you in the end; D#m E I'm glad that we had you for a friend. E B And Ammon, you old rebel, it's just another round. A E Takes more than politicians to keep a rebel down. A There's one thing I know for certain, I swear by God it's true: B E This blue-nosed town ain't seen the last of you. E So long, Joe Hill. So long, but not goodbye. B A E You're off to teach some grafters how to sizzle and to fry. A But someday we're going to need you Joe, you and all your friends, B E We'll never have to say goodbye again.
