Verse 1:
E
Comrades, the bugles are sounding!
              A    B7      E
Shoulder your arms for the fray!
A                          E
Boldly we'll fight for our freedom,
F#m           B7          E
Bravely we'll hew out the way!

Bravely we'll hew out the way!

Verse 2:
E
Born in the ranks of the workers,
             A    B7     E
Whose scanty wage must suffice.
A                   E
Brotherhood! Unity! Freedom!

This is our fighting device.

Verse 3:
E
Hunger and chains were our portion,
             A  B7      E
Feeding like beggars on crumbs;
A                         E
Now light is piercing the darkness,
F#m         B7        E
A dawn of deliverance comes.
A                         E
Now light is piercing the darkness,
F#m         B7        E
A dawn of deliverance comes.

E
Singing, we hasten to battle
              A     B7     E
Speed, let us speed to the fight.
A                       E
Soldiers of freedom, we fear not
F#m             B7      E
Kings and their shadowy might!
A                       E
Soldiers of freedom, we fear not
F#m             B7      E
Kings and their shadowy might!

Verse 5:
E
Firm in our faith, we shall conquer!
E         A    B7       E
Slavery's yoke we shall break!
A                      E
Welcoming death, even, gaily,
F#m          B7        E
Fighting for liberty's sake!
A                      E
Welcoming death, even, gaily,
F#m          B7        E
Fighting for liberty's sake!

Bravely we'll hew out the way!
