[E] [A]
[E]
We won't be bought, we won't be sold.
United we stand, divided we fall.
[A] For every dime they give us, the battle must [E] be fought.
So working people, use your power, the key to liberty.
Don't support that rich [B] man's style of [E] luxury.
And there ain't no other way they can ever keep us down, oh no.
Ain't no other way they can ever keep [B] us down.
[E] We won't be bought, we won't [A] be sold.
To be treated right, well that's our goal.
And [E] there ain't no other way they [B] can ever [E] keep us down.
[A]
[E]
[Bm] [E]
We've been shot, we've been jailed, Lord it's a sin.
[A] Women and little children stood right by the [E] men.
But we got a union contract that keeps the workers free.
And they'll never shoot [B] that union [E] out of me.
They'll never shoot that union out of me, oh no.
Never shoot that union out [B] of me.
[E] Got a contract in [A] her hand signed by the blood of honest men.
And [E] they'll never shoot [B] that union [E] out of me.

[E] [A]
[E]
Well the power wheel is a-rolling, rolling [A] right along.
And the government helps keep it going, going [E]
strong.
So working people get your help from your own kind.
Your [B] welfare ain't on a [E] rich man's mind.
Your welfare ain't on a rich man's mind, oh no.
Your welfare ain't on a [B] rich man's mind.
[E] They want the power in their [A] hands just to keep down the workers.
[E] And your welfare [B] ain't on a [E] rich man's mind.
And they'll never, never, never keep us down, oh no.
Never, never, never keep [B] us down.
[E] They can cheat, lie, [A] frame or kill, but we'll stop that big wheel.
And there ain't [E] no way they can ever keep us down.
