The Commonwealth Of Toil chords

[VERSE]
In the gl[C]oom of mighty cities,
'Mid the r[F]oar of whirling wheels,
[Dm7]We are [C]toiling on like chattel slaves of [D]old[G] ,
[G]And our [C]masters hope to k[C7]eep us
Ever [F]thus beneath their heels,
[Dm7]And to [Em]coin our very [G7]lifeblood into [C]gold.

[CHORUS]
But we [Dm7]have a glowing [G7]dream
Of how [C]fair the world will seem
When each [Em]man can live his [Am]life secure and [D]free[G] ;
When the [C]earth is owned by [C7]Labor
And there's [F]joy and peace for all,
[Dm7]In the [C]Commonwealth of [G7]Toil that is to [C]be.

[VERSE]
They would [C]keep us cowed and beaten
Cringing [F]meekly at their feet,
[Dm7]They would [C]stand between each worker and his [D]bread.[G]
[G]Shall we [C]yield our lives up [C7]to them
For the [F]bitter crust we eat ?
[Dm7]Shall we [Em]only hope for [G7]heaven when we're [C]dead?

[CHORUS]
But we [Dm7]have a glowing [G7]dream
Of how [C]fair the world will seem
When each [Em]man can live his [Am]life secure and [D]free[G] ;
When the [C]earth is owned by [C7]Labor
And there's [F]joy and peace for all,
[Dm7]In the [C]Commonwealth of [G7]Toil that is to [C]be.

[VERSE]
They have [C]laid our lives out for us
To the [F]utter end of time,
[Dm7]Shall we [C]stagger on beneath their heavy [D]load[G] ?
[G]Shall we [C]let them [C7]live forever
In their [F]gilded halls of crime
[Dm7]With our [Em]children doomed to [G7]toil beneath their [C]goad?

[CHORUS]
But we [Dm7]have a glowing [G7]dream
Of how [C]fair the world will seem
When each [Em]man can live his [Am]life secure and [D]free[G] ;
When the [C]earth is owned by [C7]Labor
And there's [F]joy and peace for all,
[Dm7]In the [C]Commonwealth of [G7]Toil that is to [C]be.

[VERSE]
When our [C]cause is all triumphant
And we [F]claim our Mother Earth,
[Dm7]And the [C]nightmare of the present fades [D]away,[G]
[G]We shall [C]live with [C7]Love and Laughter,
We, who [F]now are little worth,
[Dm7]And we'll [Em]not regret the [G7]price we have to [C]pay

[CHORUS]
But we [Dm7]have a glowing [G7]dream
Of how [C]fair the world will seem
When each [Em]man can live his [Am]life secure and [D]free[G] ;
When the [C]earth is owned by [C]Labor
And there's [F]joy and peace for all,
[Dm7]In the [C]Commonwealth of [G7]Toil that is to [C]be.
