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