[Verse 1]

A          D
In this dispute
       G           C           G
You've got justice on your side
A               D
They've got the law
    G                    C   G
But we'll be fighting by the rules
A           D
Maybe we'll lose
    G               C     G
But we can hold our heads high
A         D
For if we lose
      G             C     G   E
We'll know that our cause was true
        A
Let's get away
         D            G A  E
From the idea that in industry
              A        D
There are two sides at war
              G
It's not like that at all

[Verse 2]

A           D
Play by the rules
    G                    C           G
And public opinion might stay with us
A             D
Play by their rules
      G            C    G    A
We'll obey all the laws they make
        D
Against you
      G                    C      G
Let's hope to God that the company
A          D
Will negotiate
G               C  G
Militancy is no answer
E          A
Let's get away
         D            G A  E
From the idea that in industry
              A        D
There are two sides at war
              G
It's not like that at all

[Bridge]

Am              D
So strong's the right
C             D
We'll have to knuckle down
Am         D
Try not to fright
C         D
Public opinion
Am           D
That's to be found
C          D
Inside the Daily Mail
Am              D
So strong's the right
C             D
We'll have to knuckle down

[Verse 3]

A             D
They took our funds
     G               C             G
They put hundreds of blacks in jail
A        D
The company
    G              C  G   A
Put thousands more on the dole
      D
At my desk
  G              C      G
I sit back and I wonder why
A                D
Did we speak too strong?
      G                 C    G
We'll speak much softer next time
E            A
  Let's get away
         D            G A  E
From the idea that in industry
              A        D
There are two sides at war
              G
It's not like that at all
