The Rebel Girl by Joe Hill

C F C
There are women of many descriptions
C G C
In this queer world, as everyone knows.
C F C
Some are living in beautiful mansions,
F G
And are wearing the finest of clothes.
C F C
There are blue blooded queens and princesses,
C G C
Who have charms made of diamonds and pearl;
C F C
But the only and thoroughbred lady
C G C
Is the Re-bel Girl.

CHORUS:

C F
That's the Rebel Girl, that's the Rebel Girl!
C G
To the working class she's a precious pearl.
C G C G
She brings courage, pride and joy
F G C F C
To the fighting Rebel Boy.
C F
We've had girls before, but we need some more
C G C G
In the Industrial Workers of the World.
F C G
For it's great to fight for freedom
C G C
With a Rebel Girl.

C F C
Yes, her hands may be hardened from labor,
C G C
And her dress may not be very fine;
C F C
But a heart in her bosom is beating
F G
That is true to her class and her kind.
C F C
And the grafters in terror are trembling
C G C
When her spite and defiance she'll hurl;
C F C
For the only and thoroughbred lady
C G C
Is the Rebel Girl.

CHORUS:

C F
That's the Rebel Girl, that's the Rebel Girl!
C G
To the working class she's a precious pearl.
C G C G
She brings courage, pride and joy
F G C F C
To the fighting Rebel Boy.
C F
We've had girls before, but we need some more
C G C G
In the Industrial Workers of the World.
F C G
For it's great to fight for freedom
C G C
With a Rebel Girl.
F C G
For it's great to fight for freedom
C G C
With a Rebel Girl.
