D Drone on chord [Verse] D A In sixteen forty nine to St George's Hill G D a ragged band they called the Diggers came to show the peoples' will D A they defied the Landlords, they defied the laws G A D they were the dispossessed, reclaiming what was theirs D A "we come in peace" they said, to dig and sow G D we come to work the lands in common and to make the wastegrounds grow D A this earth divided, we will make whole G A D so it will be a common treasury for all D A the sin of property, we do disdain G D no man has any right to buy and sell the earth for private gain D A by theft and murder they took the land G A D now everywhere the walls spring up at their command D A they make the laws to chain us well G D the clergy dazzle us with heaven or they damn us into hell D A we will not worship the god they serve G A D the god of greed who feeds the rich while poor man starve D A we work, we eat together we need no swords G D we will not bow to the masters or pay rent to the lords D A we are free men, though we are poor G A D you diggers all stand up for glory stand up now D A from the men of property, the orders came G D they sent the hired men and troopers to wipe out the Diggers' claim D A tear down their cottages, destroy their corn G A D they were dispersed, but still the vision lingers on D A you poor take courage, you rich take care G D this earth was made a common treasury for everyone to share D A all things in common, all people one G A D we come in peace, the orders came to cut them down
