A                B                    E                    A
Yeah, we got the power, let's do it tonight! (The power, tonight)
               B                     E                  A
We got a cause and we know that it's right. (A cause to fight)
                 B                      E                      A

                 B                      A
Yeah, we got the power, got the power tonight!

19 men were tried and fired, August 26th through 29th
    A
For violation of rule 35
       B
The forbidden right to organize
     A                          E               B
They suffered the loss of their livelihood that night.
     E
That night!

[Verse 2]
A         B                       E
A city in terror on the thin blue line.
                           A             B                    E
A thousand-plus walked off the job to support their brothers' cause,
A        B                 E
The anti-union prohibition clause.
                    A
Demanded loyalty at any price
            B         A
On the thin blue line.
B                A
On the thin blue line.
B                A    B  A
On the thin blue line.
