[VERSE 1]
Workers [D]of the world, awaken!
Break your [A]chains, demand your [G]rights.
All the [D]wealth you make is taken
By ex[E]ploiting parasites.
Shall you [D]kneel in deep submission
From your [A]cradles to your [G]graves?
Is the [D]height of your ambition
To be [C]good and [G]willing [C]slaves?
[CHORUS]
A[F]rise, ye [G7]prisoners of [C]starva-[Am]tion!
[F]Fight for your [G7]own e[D]mancipation;
Ar[F]ise, ye [G7]slaves of e[C]v'ry na-[Am]tion.
[E]In One [B]Union [C]grand.
Our l[G7]ittle ones for [C]bread are crying
And m[G7]illions are from [C]hunger dying;
The [G7]end the means is [C]justi-[F]fying,
'Tis the [D]final [C]stand.
[VERSE 2]
If the [D]workers take a notion
They can [A]stop all speeding [G]trains;
Every [D]ship upon the ocean
They can [A]tie with mighty [G]chains.
Every [D]wheel in the creation,
Every [A]mine and every [G]mill
Fleets and [D]armies of the nation,
Will at [C]their com-[G]mand stand [C]still.
[CHORUS]
A[F]rise, ye [G7]prisoners of [C]starva-[Am]tion!
[F]Fight for your [G7]own e[D]mancipation;
Ar[F]ise, ye [G7]slaves of e[C]v'ry na-[Am]tion.
[E]In One [B]Union [C]grand.
Our l[G7]ittle ones for [C]bread are crying
And m[G7]illions are from [C]hunger dying;
The [G7]end the means is [C]justi-[F]fying,
'Tis the [D]final [C]stand.
[VERSE 3]
Join the [D]union, fellow workers
Men and [A]women, side by [G]side;
We will [D]crush the greedy shirkers
Like a [A]sweeping; surging [G]tide;
For u-[D]nited we are standing,
But di-[A]vided we will [G]fall;
Let this [D]be our understanding--
"All for [C]one and [G]one for [C]all."
[CHORUS]
A[F]rise, ye [G7]prisoners of [C]starva-[Am]tion!

[VERSE 4]
Workers [D]of the world, awaken!
Rise in [A]all your splendid [G]might;
Take the [D]wealth that you are making,
It be-[A]longs to you by [G]right.
No one [D]will for bread be crying,
We'll have [A]freedom, love, and [G]health.
When the [D]grand red flag is flying
In the [C]Workers' [G]Common-[C]wealth.
[CHORUS]
