Marshall Riley's Army  ( Alan Hull )   from: Back and Fourth
---------------------

1.)
In October '36 they took a trip, the men who made the ships
      G	     D		    Em		      Bm
searching for some kind of salvation
  C		 	   	D
with head held high and dignified, the townsfolk and the passers, by
      G			 D		Em		  Bm
held them in some kind of admiration.
    C			      D 


Chorus:
March on, Marshall Riley's army,
 G    D		    Em	   C, G
marching for your rights you've surely earned them.
 G		   Bm		        D
March on, Marshall Riley's army,
 G    D		    Em 	   C, G
the lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?
      G		      Bm 		  D	 G


2.)
Soldiers in the front line of the struggle, for the right to work
  G	 	 D		    Em		     Bm
did God give me these hands just to be idle
     C					D
while his holiness the Bishop, with his infinite Christian wisdom
	   G		D		 Em		    Bm
like Peter when the cock crew, had denied them.
      C				    D

 
Chorus:
March on, Marshall Riley's army,

3.)
The yes-men and the press-men, to Londown town all came down
     G		       D		   Em  Bm
and brought with them the curious and deranged
     C					D
and forty years has since gone past, but you're still down there, if you're working class
     G			   D			  Em				Bm
can anybody tell me what has changed ?
       C		       D
