Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Album: Dark & Dirty Mile
Tuning: Standard with Capo 2
Note: You can also play this song in open E.
I have not seen them play this song, so I don't know if it's open E or Capo 2.
Capo 2 is easier to do with the passing tones.
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G D G
No man should have to live his life a slave
G D G
For the few at the top that reap the gold
C G
They murder every prophet for as long as it's been told
G Am G
The enemies of both the pure and brave
G D G
Lord, save us before there ain't much left to save
G D G
We stopped work and held up in the camps
G D G
Underneath the Colorado stars
C G
The Baldwin Felts thugs and the National Guard
G Am G
Were called in to put out the lamp
G D G
With the blessings of our dear old Uncle Sam
[Chorus]
C D G G/F#
The blood sure did flow up in Ludlow
Em D G
The air became full of smoke and lead
C D G G/F# Em
The blood sure did flow up in Ludlow my friends
C D G C ? D
They left a lot of decent people dead
[Verse 2]
G D G
The holes where a few had tried to hide
G D G
Soon enough were turned to shallow graves
C G
For at least eleven children that no one there could save
G Am G
The death special took another ride
G D G
Oh at night I hear their lonesome mothers cry
[Chorus]
C D G G/F#
'Cause the blood sure did flow up in Ludlow
Em D G
The air became full of smoke and lead
C D G G/F# Em
The blood sure did flow up in Ludlow my friends
C D G
They left a lot of decent people dead
[Break]
C ? D ? G ? G/F# - Em ? D ? G
C ? D ? G ? G/F# - Em ? C ? D ? G
[Verse 3]
G D G
An Engineer took mercy on our souls
G D G
He stopped the train right in the line of fire
C G
Gave us folks a chance to escape the funeral pyre
G Am G
The story that I tell you must be told
G D G
Better wake up now before we're all too old
[Chorus]
C D G G/F#
'Cause the blood sure did flow up in Ludlow
Em D G
The air became full of smoke and lead
C D G G/F# Em
The blood sure did flow up in Ludlow my friends
C D G
They left a lot of decent people dead
C D G G/F# Em
Oh the blood sure did flow up in Ludlow my friends

They left a lot of decent people dead
