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