Sweetheart On The Barricade Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

BmThey closed up the F♯sooty gates of BmAyres and CompF♯any

BmWe stood on the F♯picket line, my E7Jennifer and me

 We bBmlocked the street, F♯now the lorries E7come and turn about

 There's Gnothing getting in there and there's nothing getting out

 Oh, she's Djust a tender Gthing, she's Drisking life and Glimb

 My Bmsweetheart's Aon the barriGcade

 My Dheart it skips a Gbeat, there'll be Dfighting in the Gstreet

 But Bmhungry folk forAget to be aGfraid

 My sweetheart's F♯on the barriBmcade E7 Bm F♯

And here come the managers to hit us on the sly

And tinpot generals with glory in their eyes

Owners, moaners, Judases and Janes

But righteousness is in our eyes, we've got no time for games

In her manner she is mild and fairly just a child

My sweetheart's on the barricade

For a fair wage in her hand, the equal of a man

She'll stand front rank in the parade

My sweetheart's on the barricade

Instrumental verses

DShe's running leaflets through the Aalley

DShe's passing hymn books at the Arally. F♯Halleluiah!

GFriends and neighbours, won't you join the cause

DDrill it in the tiny minds of them that make the laws

 That Gworkers are human, we're really just the same

 We've E7got to have the nourishment to fill a human frame

 Oh, we're Bmpeople not a Gmob and we Bmonly wants a Gjob

 My Bmsweetheart's Aon the barriGcade

 We've Bmhad it up to Ghere, too Bmnumb to feel the Gfear

 My Bmsweetheart's Aon the barriGcade

 My Emheart it skips a F♯mbeat there'll be Emfighting in the F♯mstreet

 My Emsweetheart's F♯on the barriBmcade
