loose at a man,
G                   D
Shot a woman in the back.
G                        D
Before he could take his aim again,
D
Preacher Casey dropped him in his track,
poor boy,

Preacher Casey dropped him in his track.

And then he got away.

And he met Tom Joad on the
D
old river bridge,
D
And these few words he did say, poor boy,
D         A            D
These few words he did say.

G
"I preached for the Lord a
D
mighty long time,
G                               D
Preached about the rich and the poor.
G                   D
Us workin' folkses, all get together,
D
'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore.
D              A         D
We ain't got a chance anymore."

Verse 4

G
Now, the deputies come,
     D
 and Tom and Casey run
       G                          D
To the bridge where the water run down.
        G
But the vigilante thugs hit
 D
Casey with a club,
D
They laid Preacher Casey on the ground,
 poor Casey,
D                  A            D
They laid Preacher Casey on the ground.

G                        D
Tom Joad, he grabbed that deputy's club,
G                D
Hit him over the head.
    G
Tom Joad took flight in
    D
the dark rainy night,
D
And a deputy and a preacher lying dead,
two men,
D              A              D
A deputy and a preacher lying dead.

G                     D
Tom run back where his mother was asleep;
G                     D
He woke her up out of bed.
       G
An' he kissed goodbye to the
D
mother that he loved,
D
Said what Preacher Casey said, Tom Joad,
D            A              D
He said what Preacher Casey said.

G                        D
"Ever'body might be just one big soul,
       G                    D
Well it looks that a-way to me.
      G
Everywhere that you look,
        D
 in the day or night,
D
That's where I'm a-gonna be, Ma,
D             A           D
That's where I'm a-gonna be.

Verse 8

G
Wherever little children are
D
hungry and cry,
G                    D
Wherever people ain't free.
G                D
Wherever men are fightin' for
their rights,
D
That's where I'm a-gonna be, Ma.
D            A           D
That's where I'm a-gonna be."
