C F
Stand up, all victims of oppression
G7 C G7
For the tyrants fear your might!

Don't cling so hard to your possessions
G7 C
For you have nothing if you have no rights!
G D7 G
Let racist ignorance be ended
D7 G
For respect makes the empires fall!

Freedom is merely privilege extended
G D7 G G7
Unless enjoyed by one and all
[Chorus]

So come brothers and sisters

For the struggle carries on

C F
Let no one build walls to divide us
G7 C G7
Walls of hatred nor walls of stone

Come greet the dawn and stand beside us
G7 C
We'll live together or we'll die alone
G D7 G
In our world poisoned by exploitation
D7 G
Those who have taken, now they must give!

And end the vanity of nations
G D7 G G7
We've but one Earth on which to live
[Chorus]

So come brothers and sisters

And so begins the final drama
G7 C G7
In the streets and in the fields

We stand unbowed before their armour
G7 C
We defy their guns and shields!
G D7 G
When we fight, provoked by their aggression
D7 G
Let us be inspired by life and love
G7 C
For though they offer us concessions
G D7 G G7
Change will not come from above!
[Chorus]
C F
So come brothers and sisters
G7 C G7
For the struggle carries on
C G7 Am
The Inter-natio-nal-e
G Am D7 G G7
Unites the world in song
C F
So comrades, come rally

For this is the time and place!
A7 Dm7
The international ideal

Unites the human race
