PICKET SIGN
Stonewall Jackson
Chorus:
D
Everybody stand up and holler for the union
A7
let's give the brother's a cheer
D
Everybody stand up and holler for the union
A7 D
I ain't hit a lick all year
D
Worked in the mill and I worked on the dock
A7
I worked for the railroad lines
D
Before I hit a lick under union scale
A7 D
I'll carry this picket sign
Repeat Chorus
D
Money's all gone and I'll admit
A7
got holes in both of my shoes
D
But I'm still a smokin' this big cigar
A7 D
and payin' my union dues
Repeat Chorus
(Advance Step To D#)
D#
Lived on boloney nearly all of my life
Bb
a waitin' for a higher wage
D#
I never had a taste of a t-bone steak
Bb D#
cause the steer ain't union made
D#
Too old to work too broke to quit
Bb
when I get to the end of the line
D#
I may walk into a pauper's grave
Bb D#
but I'll carry this picket sign
Repeat Chorus
(Advance Step To E)
E
Everybody stand up and holler for the union
B7
let's give the brother's a cheer
D
Everybody stand up and holler for the union
B7 D
I ain't hit a lick all year
