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.
