I[A] dreamed I saw Joe[A7] Hill last night,as[D] live as you and[A] me,
Says[D] I to Joe your[A] ten years dead,I[E] never died says he,
I[E7] never died says[A] he,
[2]
The copper bosses shot you Joe they filled you up with lead,
Takes more than guns to kill a man says Joe and I ain't dead
Says Joe and I ain't dead.
[3]
From saltlake city Joe said I him stand by my bed,
They framed you on a murder charge,
Says Joe but I ain't dead,says Joe but I ain't dead.
[4]
And standing there as big as life,and smiling with hes eyes,
Says Joe what they forgot to kill,went on to organise,
Went on to organise.
[5]
Joe Hill ain't dead he said to me,Joe Hill ain't never died,
Where working men defend their rights,
Joe Hill is by their side,Joe Hill is by their side.
[6]
From San Diego up to Maine,in every mine and mill,
Where workers strike and organise,
Says he you'll find Joe Hill,says he you'll find Joe Hill.
