Solidarity Forever chords by
Burl Ives
Burl Ives

N/A
Verse 1
G

When the Union's inspiration

through the workers' blood shall run,

C

There can be no power greater
G

anywhere beneath the sun.

Yet what force on earth is weaker

than the feeble strength of one?
Am
D
G

But the Union makes us strong.

Solidarity forever!
C
G

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!
Em
C
D
G

For the Union makes us strong!

Solidarity forever!
Am
D
G

For the Union makes us strong!
C

It's a mighty long time since the early days,

D

when it took a bunch of pickets

to get a raise.
G
C

We've built a union ten million strong,

D

we taught the fourth
G

how to get along with the working

class.
C

More respect for life,
D

friendly conferences
G

and mutual understandings.
C

You could just take a look at a union town,

D

folks don't walk the streets

with their heads bound down.
G
C

You see clean cities, happy kids,
D

feel mighty proud what the

union did.
G
C

more wages, better hours.
D
G

Folks have more time to live together.

But we've been so damn busy licking axes,

C
D

we didn't watch Congress

melting up the taxes.
G
C

We were wheelin' and dealin'

and steamin' and crankin'.
D

We didn't keep our eyes out
G

on buzzards like Rankin,

playin' cheap politics.
C

Full -tax buzzards,
D
G

for a clip his wings.

Now don't you think
C

that it's a hell of a note
D

To fill her buster

on the soldier's boat
G

To make long speeches and
C

shed hot tears

About the sad,
D

sad fate of the war profiteers
G

That's Congress for you though
C
D
G

Week in, week out, week all over

If you want to know what
C

I think of it all
D

We ought to stick together

when we vote this fall
G

When they count the ballots
C

there's a lot of us,
D

ten million workers
G

can make a hell of a fuss,

change Congress,
C

make them respect us
D
G

like management does.

Yes, we've organized,
C

got better conditions,
D

we've pitched in together,

made the world see the missions,
G
C

now we've got to vote for men

who will right our wrongs,
D

put some guys in Congress

who will sing our song.
G

Solidarity forever!
C
G

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!
Em
Am
D
G

Oh, the union makes us strong!

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
