Intro chords:     G#5         G#/C   C#5


VERSE

     G#5                         G#/C               C#5
In a letter to every president, congressman, career politician,
     G#5                        
Scrawled in spite across the envelope
     G#/C            C#5
With all of our conviction.
          G#5
In only took a few hours for his peers
     G#/C                C#5
To find him guilty in a trail too fair,
   G#5                            G#/C                C#5
A wobblie, immigrant worker has no place among the living.


CHORUS

  D#5                         C#5                  G#5
'My body if I could choose to ashes it reduce.'

N/C
Murdered by the capitalist,

         G#/C        C#5
November 1915 be careful of what you wish.
       G#5                      G#/C        C#5                 
Who is wrong and who is righteous?
          G#5                      
What was stolen from us we will replace,
 G#/C                    C#5     
Off with the head on the body we feast,
  G#5  
Who is wrong and who is righteous,
      G#/C        - one strum 
Will never be our own decision.


INTRO X4


VERSE
 
          G#5                                G#/C                 C#5
He yelled fire to the squad with guns, they stopped his heart from beating.
         G#5                          G#/C            C#5
Every word he wrote, he spoke, he sung, we are still singing:


CHORUS

      D#5                      C#5   
'My body if I could choose to ashes it reduce,
      D#5                         C#5   
And let the breezes blow my dust to where some flowers grow.
   D#5                                 C#5   
Perhaps some fading flower then would come to life and bloom again'.


BRIDGE

G#5   A#5   C5    C#5   x4


        G#5            A#5
If the workers take a notion,
           C5               C#5
They can stop all speeding trains,
      G#5            A#5
Every ship upon the ocean.
         C5               C#5
They can tie with mighty chains
       G#5            A#5
Every wheel in the creation,
       C5             C#5
Every mine and every mill.
            G#5           A#5
Fleets and armies of all nations
             C5                            C#5           - one strum
Will at our command stand   (pause)       still.
