[Verse]
ArGise, ye workers from your sluCmber,
                      Am     G(D7)
Arise, ye prisoners of want.
FGor reason in revolt now thuCnders,
and at lD7ast ends the age of caGnt!
AwDay with aAll your superstiDtions,
SerAvile masses, arA7ise, arisDe!
We'll chaDnge heBmnceforth the old traGditEmion,
And spDurn the dust to wA7in the priDze!
[Chorus]
 So comrGades, come ralCly,
  And the lDast fight let us faGce.
  The GInternDatiA7onalDe
  UnGites the hA7uman raDce.
  So comGrades, come ralCly,
  And the laDst fight let us faGce.
  The IE7nternationalAme
  UniGtes the huD7man raGce.
[Verse]
No mGore deluded by reaCction,
                          Am      G(D7)
On tyrants only we'll make war!
GThe soldiers too will take strike actCion,
They'll break raD7nks and fight no moGre!
And if thDose caAnnibals keep tryDing,
To sacrAifice us tA7o their priDde,
They soDon shall heBmar the bullets fGlyEming,
We'll shDoot the geneA7rals on our own siDde.
[Chorus]
So comrGades, come ralCly,
And the lDast fight let us faGce.
The GInternDatiA7onalDe
UnGites the hA7uman raDce.
So comGrades, come ralCly,
And the laDst fight let us faGce.
The IE7nternationalAme
UniGtes the huD7man raGce.
[Verse]
No saGviour from on high deliCvers,
No faAmith have we in prince or peGer.
GOur own right hand the chains must shiCver,
Chains of hatD7red, greed and fGear.
E'Der the thiAeves will out with their boDoty,
And to aAll give A7a happier loDt.
Each aDt his forge muBmst do their dGutEmy,
And we'Dll strike the irA7on while it's hDot.
[Chorus]
So comGrades, come raClly,
And the lDast fight let us faGce.
The GInternDatiA7onalDe
UnGites the hA7uman raDce.
So cGomrades, come rCally,
And the laDst fight let us faGce.
The IE7nternationalAme
UniGtes the huD7man raGce.
