The Union Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
When we were [G]kids
We'd throw rocks at cars
And smoke our mother's cigarettes
After dark, in the park
And I re[C]member picking butts up off the
Dirty ground
[G]Smoking them just the same as Ma's
When we ran out
And I ripped my [D]heart from
beneath my [G]ribs[D][G]
And lay there bleed[D]ing out
in my [G]hand[D]s[G][C]
[G]And I'd give a piece to
each of my friends

[Verse 2]
Just to know they understand
[G]
That I'd never join the union
'Cause I never wanted it easy
[C]No, I'd never join the [G]union

[Interlude 1]
'Cause I'd never wanted it easy
[G][Em][G][Am][Em][G]

[Verse 3]
There's a [G]pretty little city
towering over the sea
And the little yellow house
Falling down on Inglis Street
There's a [C]few good men
who know who I am
And who I [G]am [C]not
[G]And I rip my heart from
[D]beneath [G]my [C]rib[G][C]
[G]And I lie there bleeding
[D]out in [G]my [Em]hand[D] s[G][C]
[G]And I give a piece to you my friend

[Verse 4]
Just to know you understand
[G]
That I'd never join the union
'Cause I never wanted [C]it easy
Hell, I'd never join the [G]union
'Cause I never wanted

[Interlude 2]
it easy
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Interlude 3]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[G][F][Em][Eb][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Now I know why[F]
[Em]Your daddy doesn[Eb]'t like [D]me
[G]Can't change it
[F]I am a d[Em]irty, Rock 'n' R[Eb]oller b[D]aby
[G]Now I know why[F]
[Em]Your daddy doesn[Eb]'t like [D]me
[G]I can't change it
[F]I am a d[Em]irty, Rock 'n' R[Eb]oller[D]

[Verse 7]
[G]And I'd never join the union
'Cause I never wanted it [C]easy
Hell, I'd never join the [G]union

[Verse 8]
'Cause I never wanted it easy
[G]
That I'd never
No, I'd never
No, I'd never join
That I'd never
No, I'd never
No, I'd never [C]join
That I'd never join the [G]union
'Cause I never wanted it easy
Hey
[Em][G]
