[Intro 1]
[E][E]

[Verse 1]
[E]Pulitzer and Hearst
They [A]think we're [E]nothin'
Are [B]we [E]nothin'? [A](No!)[B]
[G]Pulitzer and Hearst
They [C]think they [G]got us
Do [D]they [G]got us? [C](No!)[D]
[B]Even though we [Em]ain't got [B/D#]hats or bad[Em]ges
[D]We're a [G]union [C]just by [F]sayin' [B]so
And the [C]world [D]will [E]know!

[Verse 2]
[E]What's it gonna take to [A]stop the [E]wagons?
Are [B]we [E]ready? [A](Yeah!)[B]
[G]What's it gonna take to [C]stop the [G]scabbers?
Can [D]we [G]do it? [C](Yeah!)[D]
[B]We'll do what we [Em]gotta [B/D#]do until[Em]
We [D]break the [G]will of [C]mighty Bill [F]and [B]Joe
And the [C]World [D]will

[Chorus 1]
[E]know
And the [C]Jour[D]nal [G]too
Mister Hearst and [C]Pulit[Bm]zer
Have [Em]we got ne[D]ws for y[G]ou
See the [C]World [D]don't [Em]know
But they're [C]gonna [G]pay
'Stead of hawkin' [C]headlines
[Bm]we'll be [Em]makin' [D]'em to[G]day
And our ranks will [C/E]grow
(And we'll kick their [F]rear!)
And the world will [B]know
That [Em]we've [B]been [E]here

[Verse 3]
[E]When the circulation [A]bell starts [E]ringin'
Will [B]we [E]hear it? [A](No!)[B]
[G]What if the Delanceys [C]come out [G]swingin'?
Will [D]we [G]hear it? [C](No!)[D]
[B]When you got a [Em]hundred [B/D#]voic es sin[Em]gin'
[D]Who can [G]hear a [C]lousy [F]whistle [B]blow?
And the [C]world [D]will

[Chorus 2]
[E]know
That this [C]ain't [D]no [G]game
That we got a [C]ton of [Bm]rotten [Em]fruit
and [D]perfect [G]aim
So they [C]gave [D]their [Em]word
Well, it [C]ain't worth [G]beans
Now they're gonna [C]see
What [Bm]"stop the [Em]presses" [D]really m[G]eans
And the old will [C/E]weep
And go back to [F]sleep
And we got no [G]choice but to see it through!
(And we found our [E]voice!)
(And I lost my shoe!)

[Interlude 1]
And the world will—
[E]Yea[E]h![E][E]

[Bridge 1]
[F]Pulitzer may [Em]own the W[Am]orld
but he [G]don't own us!
[C](Pulitzer may own the World
but he don't own us!)
[F]Pulitzer may [Em]crack the [Am]whip
but he [B]won't whip us!
[E](Pulitzer may crack the whip
but he won't whip [E]us!)
And the [F]world [G]will

[Chorus 3]
[Am]know
We've been [F]keep- [G]ing [C]score
Either they give [F]us our [Em]rights
or [Am]we give t[G]hem a wa[C]r
We've been [F]down [G]too [Am]long
And we've paid our [C]dues
And the things we [F]do to[Em]day
will [Am]be tomo[G]row's ne[C]ws
And the die is [F]cast
And the torch is [Bb]passed
And the roar will [E]rise
(And the streets will flow)
And our ranks will grow
(And grow) and grow, and grow
And the [F]world [Em]will [Am]feel [G]the [F]fire
and [E]fin'[E]lly [F]know!

[Bridge 2]
[Eb](Pulitzer may [Dm]own the [Gm]World
but he [F]don't own us!)
[Bb]Pulitzer may own the World
but he don't own us!
[Eb](Pulitzer may [Dm]crack the [Gm]whip
but he [Am]won't whip us!)
[D]Pulitzer may crack the whip
but he won't whip us! [D](Ah!)[Eb]
So the [C#]World [Eb]says

[Chorus 4]
[G#m]"No!"
Well, the [E]kids [F#]do to[B]o!
Try to walk all [E]over [D#m]us,
we'll [G#m]stomp all [F#]over [B]you!
Can they kick us [G#m]out?
Take away [F#]our [B]vote?
Will we let 'em [E]stuff their [D#m]crock of [G#m]gar bage
[F#]down our [B]throat? No!
Every day we [E]wait
Is a day we [A]lose
And it ain't for [D#]fun
(And it ain't for show)
And we'll fight 'em toe (to toe) to toe
And Joe, your [E]World [D#m]will

[Outro 1]
[G#m]feel t[F#]he
[E]fire and [D#]fin'l[D#]ly (fin'lly)
[G#]know!
[E][D#m][C#m][D#m]
[G#m]
