Chain Of Broken Hearts Woody Guthrie

This world looks like a chain
Of heavy broken hearts . .
It chains my brothers and sisters all apart
Link after link
It clatters thru my land
This long heavy chain of broken hearts

Selfish pride is one link in this chain
And you better drive it out of your heart –
Brother – sister when you do it’s then that you’ll get loose
From this long heavy chain of broken hearts


It’s this long heavy chain of broken hearts
It’s this long heavy chain of broken hearts
You gotta find your union before you can get free
From this long heavy chain of broken hearts

Fear is a link in this chain
Of sorrow and trouble and pain . .
Drive out your fear and you will break apart
This long heavy chain of broken hearts

Jealousy in a link of the worst
A worry, a blister and a curse . .
Join our union band and bring with your hands
This long heavy chain of broken hearts
