G
When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
C G
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
G B7 Em
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
Am D7 G
For the Union makes us strong
(Chorus)
G
Solidarity forever
C G
Solidarity forever
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong
G
Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite
C G
Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might
G B7 Em
Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong
(Chorus)
G
Solidarity forever
C G
Solidarity forever
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong
G
It is we who ploughed the prairies built the cities where they trade
C G
Dug the mines and built the workshops endless miles of railroad laid
G B7 Em
Now we stand outcast and starving 'mid the wonders we have made
Am D7 G
But the union makes us strong
(Chorus)
G
Solidarity forever
C G
Solidarity forever
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong
G
All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone
C G
We have laid the wide foundations built it skyward stone by stone
G B7 Em
It is ours not to slave in but to master and to own
Am D7 G
While the union makes us strong
(Chorus)
G
Solidarity forever
C G
Solidarity forever
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong
G
They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn
C G
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn
G B7 Em
We can break their haughty power gain our freedom when we learn
Am D7 G
That the Union makes us strong
(Chorus)
G
Solidarity forever
C G
Solidarity forever
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong
G
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold
C G
Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousandfold
G B7 Em
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
Am D7 G
For the Union makes us strong
