Chords with lyrics
verse 1
G+G
Workingmen, unite!
C majorC G+G
We must put up a fight,
G+G
To make us free from slavery
D MajorD G+G
And capitalistic tyranny;
G+G
This fight is not in vain,
C majorC G+G
We've got a world to gain.
G+G
Will you be a fool, a capitalist tool,
D MajorD G+G
And serve your enemy?
G+G C majorC G+G
Shall we still be slaves and work for wages?
G+G D MajorD G+G
It is outrageous--has been for ages;
G+G C majorC G+G
O! The earth by right belongs to toilers,
G+G D MajorD G+G
And not to spoilers of liberty.
verse 2
G+G
Conditions they are bad,
C majorC G+G
And some of you are sad;
G+G
You cannot see your enemy,
D MajorD G+G
The class that lives in luxury,--
G+G
You workingmen are poor,--
C majorC G+G
Will be forevermore,--
G+G
As long as you permit the few
D MajorD G+G
To guide your destiny.
G+G C majorC G+G
Shall we still be slaves and work for wages?
G+G D MajorD G+G
It is outrageous--has been for ages;
G+G C majorC G+G
O! The earth by right belongs to toilers,
G+G D MajorD G+G
And not to spoilers of liberty.
verse 3
G+G
The master class is small,
C majorC G+G
But they have lots of "gall."
G+G
When we unite to gain our right,
D MajorD G+G
If they resist we'll use our might;
G+G
There is no middle ground
C majorC G+G
This fight must be one round
G+G
To victory, for liberty,
D MajorD G+G
Our class is marching on!
G+G C majorC G+G
Shall we still be slaves and work for wages?
G+G D MajorD G+G
It is outrageous--has been for ages;
G+G C majorC G+G
O! The earth by right belongs to toilers,
G+G D MajorD G+G
And not to spoilers of liberty.
