[Verse 1]
G D Em
In October '36 they took a trip
Bm
The men who made the ships
C D
Searching for some kind of salvation
G D
With head held high and dignified
Em Bm
The townsfolk and the passers by
C D
Held them in some kind of admiration
[Chorus]
G D Em C G
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
Bm D
Marching for your rights you've surely earned them
G D Em C G
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
Bm D G C G/B Am G C D
The lessons that you've taught us, who has learned them?
[Verse 2]
G D
Soldiers in the frontline
Em Bm
Of the struggle for the right to work
C D
Did god give me these hands just to be idle?
G D
While his holiness the Bishop
Em Bm
With his infinite Christian wisdom
C D
Like Peter when the cock crew, had denied them
[Chorus]
G D Em C G
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
Bm D
Marching for your rights you've surely earned them
G D Em C G

[Verse 3]
G D
And the yes-men and the press-men
Em Bm
To London town all came down
C D
Brought with them the curious and deranged
G D
And forty years has since gone past
Em Bm
But you're still down there if you're working class
C D
Can anybody tell me what has changed?
[Chorus]
