Love this song and this is a fantastic version

You have out done yourself this time. So good

Well written and well played Corrie Lynn ... I saw your post on Mandolin Orange page and while you said you are just a beginner this is excellent. Love your voice and your style

This song has been in my head non-stop since i first heard it. Absolitely brilliant in its beauty and power. Love you so much. 

They say we’re all working for the man
We save every dollar that we can
And as the sweat and blood roll down our backs
We just don’t have the time to fight back

The masses are benign
We’re all working 9 to 5
And double over time
We fight to stay alive

And try as we might
We don’t have the strength to fight
The story just ain’t right
It’s every worker’s plight
to fall in line
and then die and then die and then die 
again and again and again and again

I had a dream last night I ate my gun
The rich came like vultures and drank my blood
And though they had their fill they wanted more
They drink and they make corpses of the poor

As they bathe in our blood 
They gorge as we die
Yeah we work and we die
And yet we can’t provide

And try as we might
We don’t have the strength to fight
The story just ain’t right
It’s every worker’s plight
to fall in line
and then die and then die and then die 
again and again and again and again

I refuse to be face among the damned 
A husk of a ghost of a man
Life is much too short to give to them
So we’ve got to take it back and take it in

So I Won’t work another  day
Til there’s food on my plate
Til there’s savings in my bank
Til I’m paid a living wage

And try as we might
We need the strength to fight
Cuz The story just ain’t right
It’s every worker’s plight
to fall in line
and then die and then die and then die 
again and again and again and again

A beautiful love song with haunting harmonies.

Goodnight Bright Eyes

The invasion of digital media, social media and declining social skills have separated us from ourselves, each other and our planet. "No solace, no love, no peace. Know solace, know love, know peace." -- A. Fiddle-Hooper

The Guardian lyrics and chords
D(8) Gsus2(4) G(4) and repeat

In the (D)wood on the plain
Even (G)in the pouring rain
(D)Dousing in a field in the tradition of a (G)dream
In the (D)rye in the grain
Where the (G)children of the cosmos play

(The (D)guardian of (A)all things a –(G)ncient and wild)
D(4) A(4) G(8)

In the (D)night, fight or flight
Tapping (G)maddening keys trying to make it right
There’s no (D)evil in the world when you tune it in just (G)so
Solip-(D)static snapshot survey
Look a(G)round at what you made

(The (D)guardian of (A)all things a –(G)ncient and wild)
(The (D)guardian of (A)all things a –(G)ncient and wild)

D(4) A(4) G(8) D(4) A(4) G(8)

On the (D)moon, on the trail
On the (G)fan of an orphaned whale
On a (D)journey with Poseidon
Lifted on the (G)wind from a midnight gale
Grain of (D)sand in your hand
Holds the (G)universe and all it’s plans

(The (D)guardian of (A)all things a –(G)ncient and wild)
(The (D)guardian of (A)all things a –(G)ncient and wild)
