Solidarity Forever
Pete Seeger
When the Abunion's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
There can Dbbe no power greater anyAbwhere beneath the Eb7sun;
Yet what Abforce on earth is weaker than the C7feeble strength of Fmone,
But the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
AbSolidarity forever,
DbSolidarity Abforever,
AbSolidarity forC7eveFmr,
For the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
Is there Abaught we hold in common with the greedy parasite,
Who would Dblash us into serfdom and would Abcrush us with his Eb7might?
Is there Abanything left to us but to C7organize and Fmfight?
For the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
AbSolidarity forever,
DbSolidarity Abforever,
AbSolidarity forC7eveFmr,
For the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
It is Abwe who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;
Dug the Dbmines and built the workshops, endless Abmiles of railroad Eb7laid;
Now we Abstand outcast and starving midst the C7wonders we have Fmmade;
But the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
AbSolidarity forever,
DbSolidarity Abforever,
AbSolidarity forC7eveFmr,
For the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
All the Abworld that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone.
We have Dblaid the wide foundations; built it Abskyward stone by Eb7stone.
It is Abours, not to slave in, but to C7master and to Fmown.
While the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
AbSolidarity forever,
DbSolidarity Abforever,
AbSolidarity forC7eveFmr,
For the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
They have Abtaken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
But withDbout our brain and muscle not a Absingle wheel can Eb7turn.
We can Abbreak their haughty power, gain our C7freedom when we Fmlearn
That the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
AbSolidarity forever,
DbSolidarity Abforever,
AbSolidarity forC7eveFmr,
For the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
In our Abhands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater Dbthan the might of armies, magniAbfied a thousand-Eb7fold.
We can Abbring to birth a new world from the C7ashes of the Fmold
For the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
AbSolidarity forever,
DbSolidarity Abforever,
AbSolidarity forC7eveFmr,
For the Bmunion Eb7makes us Abstrong.
