Pete Seeger – Solidarity Forever (Guitar)

         G
When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,

          C                      G                 D7
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
But the union makes us strong.

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                 D7
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.

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 plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;

        C                                      G                 D7
Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid;

       G                                    B7              Em
Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made;

        Am    D7       G
But the union makes us strong.

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                D7
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.

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                D7
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.

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              D7
Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold.

       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.

G
Solidarity forever,

C          G
Solidarity forever,

G             B7 Em
Solidarity forever,

        Am    D7       G
For the union makes us strong.
