[D]
In 1649, to St George's Hill,
A ragged band they [G] called the Diggers
Came to [D] show the people's will.
They defied the landlords, they defied the laws,
They were [G] the dispossessed, [D] reclaiming [A] what was [D] theirs.
We come in peace, they said, to dig and [A] sow,
We come to [G] work the lands in common,
[D] And to make the waste grounds grow.
This earth divided we will [A] make whole,
So it [G] will be a [D] common [A] treasury [D] for all.
The sin of property we do disdain,
No [G] man has any right to buy and sell [D] the earth
For [E] private gain, [A] by [D] theft and murder.
[A] They took the land, now [G] everywhere the [D] walls spring up
At their command.
They make the laws to chain [E] us well,
The [G] clergy dazzle us with heaven,
Or [D] they damn us into [A] hell.
We will [D] not worship the God [A] they serve,
The [G] God of greed who [D] feeds the rich [G] while [D] poor folks starve.
We work, we eat together, we need no [A] source.
We will [G] not bow to the masters or [D] pay rent,
[A] Till we [D] are free, though we are [A] poor.
You diggers [G] all stand up [D] for glory, [A] stand [D] up now.

From the men of property the orders came,
They sent the high admin and troopers to wipe out the diggers' claim,
Tear down their cottages, destroy [A] their corn.
They were [G] dispersed, but still [D] the vision [A] [D] lingers on.
You poor take [G] [D] courage, you rich [A] take care,
This earth [G] was made a common treasury
[D] For everyone [A] to share all [D] things in common.
All [A] people one.
We [G] come in peace, the [D] orders came to cut them down.
We come [G] in peace, the [D] orders came to cut them down.
