Verse 1
(G major) When the Union's inspiration
through the workers' blood shall run,
There can (C major) be no power greater
anywhere (G major) beneath the sun.
Yet what force on earth is weaker
than the feeble strength of one?
But the (A minor) Union makes (D major) us (G major) strong.
Solidarity forever!
(C major) Solidarity forever (G major) !
Solidarity forever!
(E minor) For the (C major) Union makes (D major) us (G major) strong!
Solidarity forever!
For the (A minor) Union makes (D major) us (G major) strong!
It's a mighty long time (C major) since the early days,
when it took a (D major) bunch of pickets
to get a raise.
(G major) We've built a union (C major) ten million strong,
we taught (D major) the fourth
how to get along (G major) with the working
class.
(C major) More respect for life,
friendly confer (D major) ences
and mutual understand (G major) ings.
You could just take a look (C major) at a union town,
folks don't (D major) walk the streets
with their heads bound down.
(G major) You see clean cities, (C major) happy kids,
feel (D major) mighty proud what the
union did.
more wages, (G major) better (C major) hours.
Folks have more (D major) time to live together. (G major)
But we've been so damn busy licking axes,
(C major) we didn't (D major) watch Congress
melting up the taxes.
(G major) We were wheelin' and deal (C major) in'
and steamin' and crankin'.
We didn't (D major) keep our eyes out
on buzzards like (G major) Rankin,
playin' cheap politics.
(C major) Full -tax buzzards,
for a clip (D major) his wings. (G major)
Now don't you think
that it's a hell (C major) of a note
To fill her (D major) buster
on the soldier's boat
(G major) To make long speeches and
shed (C major) hot tears
About the sad,
(D major) sad fate of the war profiteers
(G major) That's Congress for you though
Week (C major) in, week out, week (D major) all over (G major)
If you want to know what
(C major) I think of it all
We ought to stick (D major) together
when we vote this fall
When they count (G major) the ballots
(C major) there's a lot of us,
ten million (D major) workers
can make a hell of a (G major) fuss,
change Congress,
(C major) make them respect us
like manage (D major) ment does. (G major)
Yes, we've organized,
(C major) got better conditions,
we've pitched (D major) in together,
made the world see the missions,
(G major) now we've got to vote for (C major) men
who will right our wrongs,
put some guys (D major) in Congress
who will sing our song.
Solid (G major) arity forever!
(C major) Solidarity forever! (G major)
Solidarity forever!
(E minor) Oh, the (A minor) union makes (D major) us strong! (G major)
you
Solidarity Forever
