Solidarity Forever by Pete Seeger
[Verse 1]
When the Gunion's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
There can Cbe no power greater anyGwhere beneath the D7sun;
Yet what Gforce on earth is weaker than the B7feeble strength of Emone,
But the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Chorus]
GSolidarity forever,
CSolidarity Gforever,
GSolidarity forB7eveEmr,
For the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Verse 2]
Is there Gaught we hold in common with the greedy parasite,
Who would Clash us into serfdom and would Gcrush us with his D7might?
Is there Ganything left to us but to B7organize and Emﬁght?
For the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Chorus]
GSolidarity forever,
CSolidarity Gforever,
GSolidarity forB7eveEmr,
For the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Verse 3]
It is Gwe who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;
Dug the Cmines and built the workshops, endless Gmiles of railroad D7laid;
Now we Gstand outcast and starving midst the B7wonders we have Emmade;
But the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Chorus]
GSolidarity forever,
CSolidarity Gforever,
GSolidarity forB7eveEmr,
For the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Verse 4]
All the Gworld that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone.
We have Claid the wide foundations; built it Gskyward stone by D7stone.
It is Gours, not to slave in, but to B7master and to Emown.
While the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Chorus]
GSolidarity forever,
CSolidarity Gforever,
GSolidarity forB7eveEmr,
For the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Verse 5]
They have Gtaken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
But withCout our brain and muscle not a Gsingle wheel can D7turn.
We can Gbreak their haughty power, gain our B7freedom when we Emlearn
That the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Chorus]
GSolidarity forever,
CSolidarity Gforever,
GSolidarity forB7eveEmr,
For the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Verse 6]
In our Ghands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater Cthan the might of armies, magniGﬁed a thousand-D7fold.
We can Gbring to birth a new world from the B7ashes of the Emold
For the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
[Chorus]
GSolidarity forever,
CSolidarity Gforever,
GSolidarity forB7eveEmr,
For the Amunion D7makes us Gstrong.
