verse 1: 
         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. 


verse 2: 
         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 ?ght?  
        Am    D7       G 
For the union makes us strong. 


verse 3:  
      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. 


verse 4:  
        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. 


Verse 5:  
          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. 


Verse 6:  
       G 
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,  
        C                   G                         D7 
Greater than the might of armies, magni?ed 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.
