D       A      G7      D
He was just a workin' man,
       G7         A       D
Simple rules and simple plans,
       A7             G7     D
Fancy words he didn't understand,
    D              A
He loved with his heart,
    A               D   A7 G7 D
He worked with his hands.

Liberals dream of equal rights
Conservatives live in a world gone by
Socialists preach of a promised land
But old Uncle Son was an ordinary man

Chorus:
  D       G      D
Bless you uncle son,
              A7                            D
They won't forget you, when the revolution comes.

Unionists tell you when to strike
Generals tell you when to fight
Preachers teach you wrong from right
They'll feed you when you're born
And use you all your life

Chorus:
Bless you Uncle Son
They won't forget you when the revolution comes
