Verso 1:
G
Woke up one day

and made his way down
       D
to the water front as he

did all the days
        C
in his 44 years
                G
as longs as the ships made it in


G
stands for a cause

stands for a union
    D
for another day is gone

a dying breed of workers
    C
who lived to carry on
           G
who died for the age that we're in

Refr?o:
Em
in a cloudy haze
    G
the fog drifted in
    C
and men wore his colors
     D
who chose to begin
Em
as a younger man
G
working through his days
   C
to carry home the food
   D
to carry home the pay

Verso 2:

Woke up one day

and made his way down

to the water front as he

did all the days

in his 44 years

as long the ships made it in

the best day was the one

milestone in a marathone

on that oakland waterfront

well deserved reward

for a hard working one

served and now deserves

whats to come

Refr?o:

in a cloudy haze

the fog drifted in

and men wore his colors

who chose to begin

as a older man

working through every day

to carry home the food

to carry home the pay

Final:

(devagar)
C               D
  we all have a cause
             G
worth waging war
              Em
worth making peace to keep
C               D
  we all have a love
              G
whatever that is
           Em
or whom is thee to seek
C               D
  there comes a day
        G
if were lucky enough
        Em
and the cards fall our way, i pray
C                 D
  to sit with the birds
             G
and take the boots off
C                 D
  to sit with the birds
             G
and take the boots off
