The Internationale

C                          F
Stand up, all victims of oppression
        G7                C      G7
For the tyrants fear your might!
      C                        F
Don't cling so hard to your possessions
              G7                    C
For you have nothing if you have no rights!
    G      D7           G
Let racist ignorance be ended
       D7                     G
For respect makes the empires fall!
           G7                  C
Freedom is merely privilege extended
          G        D7      G   G7
Unless enjoyed by one and all


[Chorus]
        C            F
So come brothers and sisters
        G7               C   G7
For the struggle carries on
     C      G7    Am
The Inter-natio-nal-e
G     Am      D7       G  G7
Unites the world in song
   C              F
So comrades, come rally
         G7              C7
For this is the time and place!
    A7         Dm7
The international ideal
  C        G7    C
Unites the human race


[Verse 2]
C                         F
Let no one build walls to divide us
          G7                  C     G7
Walls of hatred nor walls of stone
     C                          F
Come greet the dawn and stand beside us
              G7                   C
We'll live together or we'll die alone
       G     D7                G
In our world poisoned by exploitation
               D7                   G
Those who have taken, now they must give!
            G7        C
And end the vanity of nations
                G       D7      G     G7
We've but one Earth on which to live


[Chorus]
        C            F
So come brothers and sisters
        G7               C   G7
For the struggle carries on
     C      G7    Am
The Inter-natio-nal-e
G     Am      D7       G  G7
Unites the world in song
   C              F
So comrades, come rally
         G7              C7
For this is the time and place!
    A7         Dm7
The international ideal
  C        G7    C
Unites the human race


[Verse 3]
C                       F
And so begins the final drama
       G7                 C      G7
In the streets and in the fields
    C                         F
We stand unbowed before their armour
       G7              C
We defy their guns and shields!
        G          D7               G
When we fight, provoked by their aggression
       D7                       G
Let us be inspired by life and love
                G7          C
For though they offer us concessions
G                D7         G    G7
Change will not come from above!


[Chorus]
        C            F
So come brothers and sisters
        G7               C   G7
For the struggle carries on
     C      G7    Am
The Inter-natio-nal-e
G     Am      D7       G  G7
Unites the world in song
   C              F
So comrades, come rally
         G7              C7
For this is the time and place!
    A7         Dm7
The international ideal
  C        G7    C
Unites the human race
