[D] I've travelled [A7] round this [D] country
From [G] shore to shining [D] shore
And [A7]I've never ceased
to [D] wonder
the [A7] things I heard and [D] saw
Chorus:
[D] But the banks are made of marble
With a [A7] guard at every [D] door
[D] And the vaults are filled
with silver
That the [A7] worker sweated [D] for
I've seen the weary housewife,
Buying groceries at the store
And I've heard the grocer saying
This is going
to cost you more
Chorus:
[D] But the banks are made of marble
With a [A7] guard at every [D] door
[D] And the vaults are
filled with silver
That the [A7] worker sweated [D] for.
[chorus]
[D] I’ve seen the [A7] weary [D] miner
Scrubbing [G] coal dust from his [D] back
And I’ve [A7] heard
his children [D] crying'
got no [A7] coal to heat the shack.
[D] But the banks are made of marble
With a [A7] guard at every [D] door
[D] And the vaults are filled with
silver
That the [A7] worker sweated [D] for.
I've seen the weary sailor,
Standing idly on the shore,
And I've heard his skipper saying
There's no berth here
anymore.
[D] But the banks are made of marble
With a [A7] guard at every [D] door
[D] And the vaults are filled with
silver
That the [A7] worker sweated [D] for.
Lets rise up and take our country
Lets rise up and take our land
Let us all rise together
For together we must
stand.
We'll blow up the banks of marble
With the guards on every door,
And share out the vaults of silver
That
the worker sweated for.
We'll blow up the banks of marble
With the guards on every door,
And share out the vaults of silver
That
the worker sweated for
