I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
A                E
Alive as you and me.
     A                   E
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
   F#                B7
"I never died," says he,
                     E
"I never died," says he.

"In Salt Lake, Joe," by god says I,
    A              E
Him standing by my bed,
      A               E
"They framed you on a murder charge."

"The copper bosses shot you Joe,
     A                     E
They killed you Joe," says I.
       A                 E
"Takes more than guns to kill a man,"

Says Joe, "I didn't die."

Standing there as big as life,
A                E
Smiling with his eyes.
    A                E

     F#        B7
Went on to organize,
               E
Went on to organize!"

"Joe Hill ain't dead," he says to me
     A                E
"Joe Hill ain't never died."

From San Diego up to Maine
   A              E
In every mine and mill

Where working men go out on strike
     F#                 B7
Says he "You'll find Joe Hill,"
