I've been trying to track down chords for some Joe Hill lyrics and can't seem to find anything on the web. I've found some lyrics but no chords. Is there someplace i haven't looked? Can someone help me with chords for The Rebel Girl & Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! to start off. Any help would be gratefully accepted.
Thank you.

I have messaged Mark, and I'm sure he'll atend to this when he can. He's a union guy all the way. One of the many things I admire about him.

Peace, there's a short intro (in G) G for 2 bars, C for 2 bars, the A7, D7 and G repectively for the last 3 bars.
THE REBEL GIRL

G                  C      G         G7
There are women of many descriptions
         C             Cm       G
In this queer world, as every one knows,
                   C         G
Some are living in beautiful mansions,
         A7                D
And are wearing the finest clothes.
D7       G            C             G
There are blue-blooded queens and princesses,
G7       C                           B
Who have charms made of diamonds and pearl;
G       E7                   Am
But the only and Thoroughbred Lady
       A7 D7 G
ls the Rebel Girl.



Chorus..
G                                 C
That's the Rebel Girl. That's the Rebel Girl.
       D       D7             G
To the working class she's a precious pearl.
                               D7
She brings courage, pride and joy
                      G
To the Fighting Rebel Boy

We've had girls before
       C
But we need some more
          D       C             B
In the Industrial Workers of the World
         E7                AM
For it's great to fight for freedom
C      G D7 G
With a Rebel Girl.

These are the chords as printed in The Songs of Joe Hill

The IWW's Little Red Songbook still has many Joe Hill songs, and gives the chords.
