[Verse 1]
[A]I d[D]rea[Bm]med [D]I saw
[A]Joe Hill last nig[D]ht,
Alive as [G]you and me.
Says I "But Joe,
[A]you're [G]ten[A] ye[D]ars dead"
"I never [Bm]died" said [D]he,
[G]"I never [A]died" said he.

[Verse 2]
"The Copper Bosses killed you [D]Joe,
They shot you Joe" says I.
[G]"Takes more than guns [A]to
kill [D]a m[Bm]an"[D]
Says Joe "I didn't [A]die"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[D]"In Salt [G]Lake City, [A]Joe," says I,
Him [D]standing by my bed,
"They framed [G]you [A]on
[D]a murder charge,"
Says [Bm]Joe, "But [A]I
[D]ain't [G]dead,"
Says Joe, [A]"But[Bm][A][D]
[G]I a[A]in'[G]t dead."

[Verse 4]
And [A]standing there as big [D]as life
And smiling with his eyes.
Says Joe "What they can [G]never kill
Went on to organize,
[A]Went on to [D]organize"

[Verse 5]
[D]From San Diego up to Maine,
In every mine and mill,
[A]Where working [D]men defend their rights,
It's [G]there you'll find Joe [D]Hill,[Bm][A][D]
It's there you'll find Joe Hill!

[Verse 6]
[G]I dreamed I saw J[A]oe Hill last night,
Alive as [D]you and me.
Says I "But Joe,
[G]you're [A]ten years dead"
"I [D]never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.
