Joe Hill
A A7
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
D A
Alive as you and me
D A
Said I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead,"
E
"I never died," said he
E7 A
"I never died," said he
"In Salt Lake City, Joe," said I,
Him standing by my side,
"They framed you on a murder charge,"
Said Joe, "I never died,"
Said Joe, "I never died."
"Them copper bosses shot you, Joe,
They filled you full of lead".
"Takes more than guns to kill a man,"
Said Joe, "And I ain't dead,"
Said Joe, "And I ain't dead."
And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Said Joe, "What they forgot to kill
Went on to organize,
Went on to organize."
From San Diego up to Maine,
In every mine and mill,
Where working men defend their rights,
It's there you'll find Joe Hill,
It's there you'll find Joe Hill.
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you or me
Said I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead,"
"I never died," Said he
"I never died," Said he
