I couldn't find this tab so I decided to take a crack at it myself - seemed straight forward enough.
I wrote it out in a fashion conducive to the campfire/sight reading and flipping from song to song....
I really don't care to sit and learn too many songs these days, just play them.

Hope you enjoy it.

      G                          C         G  
There once was a union maid, she never was afraid, 
       C                   G  
of the goons and ginks and company finks, 
        A                   D7
and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid. 
    G                              C              G  
She went to the union hall where a meeting it was called, 
    C                   G  
and when the boys would come up to her
   A       D          G  
oh this is what she'd say.
    
        C                                   G  
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union, 
                    D                          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, 
                    D    D7              G  
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die. 

         G                          C                 G  
Now this union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies, 
      C                  G  
she'd take the dare, she didn't care, 
      A           D7  
she'd always organize the guys. 
        G                             C              G  
And she always got her way when she'd ask for better pay. 
    C                      G  
She showed her card to the National Guard, 
      A       D          G
honey this is what she'd say: 

        C                                   G  
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union, 
                    D                          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, 
                    D    D7              G  
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die. 

        G                             C               G  
Now you girls who wanna be free, just take a tip from me;
   C                     G  
Oh get you a man who's a union man 
            A                D7  
and you can join the ladies' auxiliary. 
        G                                C           G  
Because married life ain't hard when you got a union card, 
      C               G                   A     D     G  
And a union life is a happy life when you got a union wife.

        C                                   G  
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union, 
                    D                          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, 
                    D    D7              G  
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.  Oh we gonna sing it again

        C                                   G  
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union, 
                    D                          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, 
                    D    D7              G  
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
