Solidarity Forever Chords & Lyrics - Pete Seeger

[VERSE 1]
When the [G]union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
There can [C]be no power greater any[G]where beneath the [D7]sun;
Yet what [G]force on earth is weaker than the [B7]feeble strength of [Em]one,
But the [Am]union [D7]makes us [G]strong.

[CHORUS]
[G]Solidarity forever,
[C]Solidarity [G]forever,
[G]Solidari[B7]ty [Em]forever,
For the [Am]union [D7]makes us [G]strong.

[VERSE 2]
Is there [G]aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite,
Who would [C]lash us into serfdom and would [G]crush us with his [D7]might?
Is there [G]anything left to us but to [B7]organize and [Em]fight?
For the [Am]union [D7]makes us [G]strong.

[VERSE 3]
It is [G]we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;
Dug the [C]mines and built the work[G]shops, endless miles of railroad [D7]laid;
Now we [G]stand outcast and starving midst the [B7]wonders we have [Em]made;
But the [Am]union [D7]makes us [G]strong.

[VERSE 4]
All the [G]world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone.
We have [C]laid the wide found[G]ations; built it skyward stone by [D7]stone.
It is [G]ours, not to slave in, but to [B7]master and to [Em]own.
While the [Am]union [D7]makes us [G]strong.

[VERSE 5]
They have [G]taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
But with[C]out our brain and muscle[G] not a single wheel can [D7]turn.
We can [G]break their haughty power, gain our [B7]freedom when we [Em]learn
That the [Am]union [D7]makes us [G]strong.

[VERSE 6]
In our [G]hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater [C]than the might of ar[G]mies, magnified a thou[D7]sand-fold.
We can [G]bring to birth a new world from the [B7]ashes of the [Em]old
For the [Am]union [D7]makes us [G]strong.
