[intro]: droning E [verse]: E B In sixteen forty nine to St George's Hill A E a ragged band they called the Diggers came to show the peoples' will E B they defied the Landlords, they defied the laws A B E they were the dispossessed, reclaiming what was theirs E B "we come in peace" they said, to dig and sow A E we come to work the lands in common and to make the wastegrounds grow E B this earth divided, we will make whole A B E so it will be a common treasury for all E B the sin of property, we do disdain A E no man has any right to buy and sell the earth for private gain E B A B E now everywhere the walls spring up at their command E B they make the laws to chain us well A E the clergy dazzle us with heaven or they damn us into hell E B we will not worship the god they serve A B E the god of greed who feeds the rich while poor man starve E B we work, we eat together we need no swords A E we will not bow to the masters or pay rent to the lords E B we are free men, though we are poor A B E you diggers all stand up for glory stand up now E B A E they sent the hired men and troopers to wipe out the Diggers' claim E B tear down their cottages, destroy their corn A B E they were dispersed, but still the vision lingers on E B you poor take courage, you rich take care A E this earth was made a common treasury for everyone to share E B all things in common, all people one A B E we come in peace, the orders came to cut them down chords EADGBe 022100 - E 799877 - B 577655 - A For that nice Mr Bebbington and his mates Nic |
