This song kills fascists [Verse 1]
C                                              F              C
There's a great and a bloody fight 'round this whole world tonight 

                                       G
And the battle, the bombs and shrapnel reign

       C                              F              C
Hitler told the world around he would tear our union down
But our union's gonna break them slavery chains
                  G                  C
Our union's gonna break them slavery chains
[Verse 2]
C                                F             C
I walked up on a mountain in the middle of the sky 

                               G
Could see every farm and every town 

        C                          F          C          
I could see all the people in this whole wide world
That's the union that'll tear old Hitler down
                                  G        C
That's the union that'll tear the fascists down
[Verse 3]
C                               F           C
When I think of the men and the ships going down

                                       G 
While the Russians fight on across the dawn

        C                   F        C
There's London in ruins and Paris in chains
Good people, what are we waiting on?
                  G              C
Good people, what are we waiting on?
[Verse 4]
C                                F              C
Yes, I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets

                            G 
Allies the whole wide world around 

       C                                 F                C
To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks 
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down
                   G                 C     
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down
[Verse 5]
C
But when I think of the ships and the men going down 

                                       G
While the Russians fight on across the dawn

        C                   F        C
There's London in ruins and Paris in chains 
Good people, what are we waiting on?
                  G              C
Good people, what are we waiting on?
[Verse 6]
C
So I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets 

                            G
Allies the whole wide world around 

       C                                 F                C               
To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down
      G                              C
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down
