Bm                    A                   E7Word came down and it crashed through my door
Bm                       A      E7   From the twenty-first floor
       Bm                     A         E7I was thinking about leaving early for lunch
             Bm                 A     E7When he told me to shut off my press
    Bm                         A              E7His face turned green and his white shirt was wet
Bm                               A   E7     Like he'd just seen an accident
   Bm              A       E7We threw our masks into a pile
Bm                             A    E7   The trucks pulled away for good

Bm                A   Holy Mackinaw Joe

  Bm                   A           E7A bus pulled in, and I waved at it
Bm                         A    E7    Before I knew what it was
   Bm                 A           E7We ran in its tracks, chasing its tires
Bm                                A     E7   But the gates had been riveted shut
  Bm                          A          E7I looked for the foreman: His number was empty
Bm                     A   E7   Up to Red Deer to stay
   Bm                         A             E7We gathered some signs and we sparked up a fire
Bm                        A            E7Gordie got burned on the high-voltage wire


Bm                A   E7   Holy Mackinaw Joe
Bm                A   E7   Holy Mackinaw Joe
Bm                A  E7   Holy Mackinaw Joe

And I'll tell her

Bm                                    A     E7    I thought there was strength in a union
Bm                                       A   E7   I thought there was strength in a mob
Bm                           A         E7   I thought the company was bluffing
          Bm                        A    E7When they threatened to chop us off
          Bm                   A           E7Ah, these guns will wilt, the winter will seize
Bm                               A    E7    And all the bonfires will go out
     Bm                           A           E7The company knows when they can afford to be bold
         Bm                              A      E7I wish I could, I wish I could, I wish I could
