C                                                F                             C
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me
          F                                     C
Says I, But Joe, you?re 10 years dead
   D                             G         
I never died, says he.  I never died, says he


C                                                 F                                     C
The Copper Bosses killed you Joe, they shot you Joe, says I
           F                                C
Takes more than guns to kill a man
          D                       G  
Says Joe, I didn't die. says Joe, I didn't die


C                                               F                                  C
And standing there as big as life, and smiling with his eyes
            F                                      C
Joe says, What they could never kill
         D                     G
Went on to organize, went on to organize


C                                           F                         C
From San Diego up to Maine, in every mine and mill
F                                                C
Where workers stand up for their rights
     D                                  G
It's there you'll find Joe Hill, it's there you'll find Joe Hill


C                                                F                             C
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me
           F                                     C
Says I, But Joe, you?re 10 years dead
   D                             G         
I never died, says he.  I never died, says he
