Sweetheart On The Barricade Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

BmThey closed up the F♯sooty gates of BmAyres and CompF♯any

BmWe stood on the F♯picket line, my E7Jennifer and me

We bBmlocked the street, F♯now the lorries E7come and turn about

There's Gnothing getting in there and there's nothing getting out

Oh, she's Djust a tender Gthing, she's Drisking life and Glimb

My Bmsweetheart's Aon the barriGcade

My Dheart it skips a Gbeat, there'll be Dfighting in the Gstreet

But Bmhungry folk forAget to be aGfraid

My sweetheart's F♯on the barriBmcade E7 Bm F♯

And here come the managers to hit us on the sly

And tinpot generals with glory in their eyes

Owners, moaners, Judases and Janes

But righteousness is in our eyes, we've got no time for games

In her manner she is mild and fairly just a child

My sweetheart's on the barricade

For a fair wage in her hand, the equal of a man

She'll stand front rank in the parade

My sweetheart's on the barricade

Instrumental verses

DShe's running leaflets through the Aalley

DShe's passing hymn books at the Arally. F♯Halleluiah!

GFriends and neighbours, won't you join the cause

DDrill it in the tiny minds of them that make the laws

That Gworkers are human, we're really just the same

We've E7got to have the nourishment to fill a human frame

Oh, we're Bmpeople not a Gmob and we Bmonly wants a Gjob

My Bmsweetheart's Aon the barriGcade

We've Bmhad it up to Ghere, too Bmnumb to feel the Gfear

My Bmsweetheart's Aon the barriGcade

My Emheart it skips a F♯mbeat there'll be Emfighting in the F♯mstreet

My Emsweetheart's F♯on the barriBmcade
