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? 


[Refrão]
 
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.

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!
