[Verse 1]
F7When the Bbunion's inspiration through the workers' F7blood shall Bbrun
There can Ebbe no power greater anyBbwhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the D7feeble strength of Gmione
Bb7For the CmiUnion Bbmakes F7us sBbtrong
[Chorus]
BbSolidarity forever, Ebsolidarity fBborever
Solidarity foD7revGmier
Bb7For the CmiUnion Bbmakes F7us sBbtrong
[Verse 2]
F7Is there Bbaught we hold in common with the F7greedy parasBbite
Who would Eblash us into serfdom and would Bbcrush us with his might?
Is there anything left to us but to oD7rganize and fGmiight?
Bb7For the Cmiunion Bbmakes F7us sBbtrong
[Chorus]
BbSolidarity forever, Ebsolidarity fBborever
Solidarity foD7revGmier
Bb7For the CmiUnion Bbmakes F7us sBbtrong
[Verse 3]
F7It is Bbwe who ploughed the prairies, built the F7cities where they Bbtrade
Dug the Ebmines and built the workshops, endless Bbmiles of railroad laid
Now we stand outcast and starving 'midst the D7wonders we have Gmimade
Bb7But the Cmiunion Bbmakes F7us sBbtrong
[Chorus]
BbSolidarity forever, Ebsolidarity fBborever
Solidarity foD7revGmier
Bb7For the CmiUnion Bbmakes F7us sBbtrong
[Verse 4]
F7All the wBborld  that's owned by idle drones is F7ours and ours alBbone
We have Eblaid the wide foundations, built it Bbskyward stone by stone
It is ours, not to slave in, but to mD7aster and to Gmiown
Bb7While thCmie unioBbn makeF7s us Bbstrong
[Chorus]
BbSolidarity forever, Ebsolidarity fBborever
Solidarity foD7revGmier
Bb7For the CmiUnion Bbmakes F7us sBbtrong
[Verse 5]
F7They have Bbtaken untold millions that they F7never toiled to eBbarn
But withEbout our brain and muscle not a sBbingle wheel can turn
We can break their haughty power gain our D7freedom when we Gmilearn
Bb7That the CmiUnion Bbmakes F7us Bbstrong
[Chorus]
BbSolidarity forever, Ebsolidarity fBborever
Solidarity foD7revGmier
Bb7For the CmiUnion Bbmakes F7us sBbtrong
[Verse 6]
F7In our Bbhands is placed a power greater F7than their hoarded Bbgold
Greater Ebthan the might of armies magniBbfied a thousandfold
We can bring to birth a new world from the D7ashes of the Gmiold
Bb7For the CmiUnion Bbmakes F7us sBbtrong
[Chorus]
BbSolidarity forever, Ebsolidarity fBborever
