Let Me Tell You The Story Of A Line That Was Held,
    G7                 G7          C               C

[Verse]
          C                C        F               F
There Was Music, There Was Singing, People Listened Everywhere;
    G7               G7       C              C
The People They Were Smiling, So Happy To Be There
      Am          Am             Em               G
While On The Road Behind Us, The Fascist S Waited There,
      C                Am            F-    G      C
Their Curses Could Not Drown Out The Music In The Air.

    C                C               F               F
The Grounds Were All Surrounded By A Band Of Gallant Men,
G7          G7           C                 C
Shoulder To Shoulder, No Fascist Could Get In,
    Am           Am        Em         G
The Music Of The People Was Heard For Miles Around,
     C              Am             F -     G       C
Well Guarded By The Workers, Their Courage Made Us Proud.

     C                 C        F             F
When The Music Was All Over, We Started To Go Home,
   G7               G7              C                C
We Did Not Know The Trouble And The Pain That Was To Come,
   Am           Am              Em              G
We Got Into Our Buses And Drove Out Through The Gate,
    C                Am            F -   G           C
And Saw The Gangster Police, Their Faces Filled With Hate.
 
[Chorus]
C        F      F        C    C                       C

     C           C           F              F
Then Without Any Warning The Rocks Began To Come,
    G7                G7                 C               C
The Cops And Troopers Laughed To See The Damage That Was Done,
     Am               Am           Em                G
They Ran Us Through A Gauntlet, To Their Everlasting Shame,
    C                 Am           F-           G     C
And The Cowards There Attacked Us, Damnation To Their Name.
 
[Chorus]
C        F      F        C    C                       C

    C          C          F                F
All Across The Nation The People Heard The Tale
    G7              G7           C               C
And Marveled At The Concert, And Knew We Had Not Failed
   Am                Am             Em              G
We Shed Our Blood At Peekskill, And Suffered Many A Pain,
    C                Am                 F -    G       C
But We Beat Back The Fascists And We'll Beat Them Back Again!
