[Verse 1]
[G]In the [D]begin[G]ning was the word.
[D]In [G]the beginning was the word.
And when the time was right,
we took paper, ink, and type,
And sent it out in print to all the world.
We be[C]long [G]to the union,
the [C]union we have [G]made.
Together we stand in a
[C]strong and lively band
[G]and follow [D]the print[G]er's trade.
The [D]au thor is the man who [G]has the dream,
[D]the [G]au thor is the man who has the dream.
But the printer sets the stage,
gets the dream down on the page.
You've got to have [D]the [G]printer
and his team.
We belong [C]to [G]the union,
[C]the union we [G]have made.
Together we stand in a
strong [C]and lively [G]band
and follow [D]the [G]printer's trade.
The journalist is paid to get the news,
[D]the [G]journalist[C] is paid to [G]get the news.
But it cannot circulate
till the printer and his mate proof and print
[D]and pack and send it round [G]the world.
[D]We [G]belong [C]to [G]the union,
the uni[C]on we have [G]made.
Together we stand in a
strong [C]and lively [G]band
and follow [D]the printer[G]'s [D]trade.[G][D][G]
In [D]89 our union first [G]began,
[D]In [G]89 [C]our[G] union first began,
In the fight for decent pay,
And [C]a shorter working day,
[G]And conditions t[D]hat
would suit a union [G]man.
We [C]belong [G]to the union,
the [C]union we [G]have made.
Together we stand in a
strong and [C]lively [G]band
and follow the printers trade.
We helped to [D]build the union
so it'd [G]grow.[D]
[G]We helped to [C]build the [G]union
so it'd grow.
And we fought at every stage
for a decent living wage
and gave the printing
bosses [D]blow for [G]blow.
We be[C]long [G]to the Union,
[C]the Union we [G]have made.
Together we stand in a
strong and [C]lively [G]band
and follow [D]the [G]printer's trade.
It was in the year of 1959,
it was in [C]the year of [G]1959,
that the Union gave the call
and loyal [C]printers all [G]fought
and beat the bosses [D]all [G]along the line.
We belong [C]to [G]the Union,
[C]the Union we have [G]made.
Together we stand in a
strong [C]and lively [G]band,
and follow [D]the printer[G]'s trade.
They say the pen's [D]more
mighty [G]than the sword,
[D]but the pri[G]nting pre[C]ss is
stronger [G]than the pen.
And mightier still is the [C]power
and the [G]will of an [D]army of Union [G]men.
We [C]belong [G]to the union,
the [C]union [G]we have [D]made.[G]
Together we stand in a
strong and [C]lively band
and fol[G]low the print[D]er's [G]trade.
