Verso 1:
G5
Woke up one day

and made his way down
       D5
to the water front as he

did all the days
        C5
in his 44 years
                G5
as longs as the ships made it in


G5
stands for a cause

stands for a union
    D5
for another day is gone

a dying breed of workers
    C5
who lived to carry on
           G5
who died for the age that we're in

Refr?o:
E5
in a cloudy haze
    G5
the fog drifted in
    C5
and men wore his colors
     D5
who chose to begin
E5
as a younger man
G5
working through his days
   C5
to carry home the food
   D5
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)
C5               D5
  we all have a cause
             G5
worth waging war
              E5
worth making peace to keep
C5               D5
  we all have a love
              G5
whatever that is
           E5
or whom is thee to seek
C5               D5
  there comes a day
        G5
if were lucky enough
        E5
and the cards fall our way, i pray
C5                 D5
  to sit with the birds
             G5
and take the boots off
C5                 D5
  to sit with the birds
             G5
and take the boots off
