Congratulations Joe

E (whole time until he starts singing, listen to the strumming, he lifts up his
middle finger while he's strumming and hammers it down).
[E]Woke up one day
and made his way down
to the [B]water front as he
did all the days
        [A]
in his 44 years                [E]
as longs as the ships made it in

[E]stands for a cause
stands for a union
for [B]another day is gone
a dying breed of workers
    [A]
who lived to carry on           [E]
who died for the age that we're in

C
in a cloudy haze
the [E]fog drifted in
and [A]men wore his colors
who c[B]hose to begin
C
as a younger man
[E]working through his days
to [A]carry home the food
to [B]carry home the pay

Woke up one day
and made his way down
to the water front as he
did all the days
in his 44 years
as long the ships made it in

the best day was the one
milestone in a marathone
on that oakland waterfront
well deserved reward
for a hard working one
served and now deserves
whats to come

in a cloudy haze
the fog drifted in
and men wore his colors
who chose to begin
as a older man
working through every day
to carry home the food
to carry home the pay

[End](slower)
[A]  we all have a [B]cause
worth waging [E]war
              C
worth making peace to keep
[A]  we all have a [B]love
whatever that [E]is
           C
or whom is thee to seek
[A]  there comes a [B]day
if were [E]lucky enough
        C
and the cards fall our way, i pray
[A]  to sit with the [B]birds
and take the [E]boots off
[A]  to sit with the [B]birds
and take the [E]boots off
