Strong barricades out of

anything we could use

With fists, batons and hooves

There were shouts, there were cheers,
G
there were songs,
C
there were tears
G
D

and I hear them all to this day

We all swore then
D
Em
that we'd stand up again
G
C

for as long as our legs stood
D
G

And when we were gone,
