[Intro 1]
[F][C][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
The [C]world's
two days in mourning
for the [F]death of Mother [C]Joan.
[F]Bloom and [C]sorrow
hover
[D]around the miner's home.
[G]This gra[C]nd old champion of labor
was [F]known in every [C]land.
She [F]fought for [C]right and justice,
[D]she took a [Em]noble [G]sta[C]nd.
For the hills and through the valleys,
in [F]every mining [C]town,
Mother [G]Jones [F]was rea[C]dy
to help them.
She nev[D]er turned them [G]down.
On [C]front with the striking miners,
she [F]always could [C]be found.
And re[F]ceived a [C]hearty welcome
in [D]every min[G]ing [C]town.[F][C][F][C][D][G][C]
She was fearless of every danger
She [F]hated that which was [C]wrong
She [F]never [C]gave up fighting
until [D]her breath was [G]gone.
This [C]noble leader of labor
has [F]gone to a better [C]land,
While the [F]hard [C]-working miners,
they [Am]mis s[D] her g[G]uiding hand.
[C]May the miners all work together
to [F]carry out the [C]plan
and [F]bring back [C]better conditions
for [D]every la[G]boring [C]man.
