Union Maid Chords

(ver. 1)
Woody Guthrie
[Verse 1]
      G                           C           G
There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
    C                   G
Of goons and ginks and company finks and
     A7                  D7
the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
     G                             C              G
She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called,
      C              G
And when the Legion boys'd come 'round
    Am       D7        G
She always stood her ground.
 
[Chorus]
        C                                   G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
                    D7                         G      G7
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
        C                                   G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
                    D7                    G
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
 
 
[Verse 2]
     G                            C                 G
This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,
     C                       G
She couldn't be fooled by a company stool,
      A7          D7
she'd always organize the guys.
    G                              C               G
She always got her way when she struck for better pay.
        C                   G
She'd show her card to the National Guard
      Am      D7       G
And this is what she'd say
 
[Chorus]
 
        C                                   G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
                    D7                         G      G7
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
        C                                   G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
                    D7                    G
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
 
[Verse 3]
     G                              C               G
You gals who want to be free, just take a tip from me;
     C                G
Get you a man who's a union man
     A7                 D7
and join the ladies' auxiliary.
 G                                C           G
Married life ain't hard when you got a union card,
  C                G
A union man has a happy life
           Am   D7     G
when he's got a union wife.
 
[Chrous]
 
        C                                   G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
                    D7                         G      G7
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
        C                                   G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
                    D7                    G
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
