Misc Unsigned Bands - Ralph chaplin - the commonwealth of toil

In the gl^Coom of mighty cities, 'Mid the r^Foar of whirling wheels, ^Dm7We are ^Ctoiling on like chattel slaves of ^Dold^G , ^GAnd our ^Cmasters hope to k^C7eep us Ever ^Fthus beneath their heels, ^Dm7And to ^Emcoin our very ^G7lifeblood into ^Cgold.

But we ^Dm7have a glowing ^G7dream Of how ^Cfair the world will seem When each ^Emman can live his ^Amlife secure and ^Dfree^G; When the ^Cearth is owned by ^C7Labor And there's ^Fjoy and peace for all, ^Dm7In the ^CCommonwealth of ^G7Toil that is to ^Cbe.

They would ^Ckeep us cowed and beaten Cringing ^Fmeekly at their feet, ^Dm7They would ^Cstand between each worker and his ^Dbread.^{G G}Shall we ^Cyield our lives up ^C7to them For the ^Fbitter crust we eat ? ^Dm7Shall we ^Emonly hope for ^G7heaven when we're ^Cdead?

But we ^Dm7have a glowing ^G7dream Of how ^Cfair the world will seem When each ^Emman can live his ^Amlife secure and ^Dfree^G; When the ^Cearth is owned by ^C7Labor And there's ^Fjoy and peace for all, ^Dm7In the ^CCommonwealth of ^G7Toil that is to ^Cbe.

They have ^Claid our lives out for us To the ^Futter end of time, ^Dm7Shall we ^Cstagger on beneath their heavy ^Dload^G ? ^GShall we ^Clet them ^C7live forever In their ^Fgilded halls of crime ^Dm7With our ^Emchildren doomed to ^G7toil beneath their ^Cgoad?

But we ^Dm7have a glowing ^G7dream Of how ^Cfair the world will seem When each ^Emman can live his ^Amlife secure and ^Dfree^G; When the ^Cearth is owned by ^C7Labor And there's ^Fjoy and peace for all, ^Dm7In the ^CCommonwealth of ^G7Toil that is to ^Cbe.

When our ^Ccause is all triumphant And we ^Fclaim our Mother Earth, ^Dm7And the ^Cnightmare of the present fades ^Daway,^{G G}We shall ^Clive with ^C7Love and Laughter, We, who ^Fnow are little worth, ^Dm7And we'll ^Emnot regret the ^G7price we have to ^Cpay

But we ^Dm7have a glowing ^G7dream Of how ^Cfair the world will seem When each ^Emman can live his ^Amlife secure and ^Dfree^G; When the ^Cearth is owned by ^CLabor And there's ^Fjoy and peace for all, ^Dm7In the ^CCommonwealth of ^G7Toil that is to ^Cbe.
