Stand [F]up, all victims of op[Bb]pression
For the [C]tyrants fear your [F]might!
Don't [F]cling so hard to your pos[Bb]sessions
For you have [C]nothing if you have no [F]rights!
Let [G7]racist ignorance be [C7]ended
For res[G7]pect makes the empires [C7]fall!
Freedom is [Gm]merely privilege ex[Dm]tended
Unless en[G7]joyed by one and [C7]all
So come [F]brothers and [Bb]sisters for the [C]struggle carries [F]on
The [F]Internatio[Bb]nale u[C]nites the world in [F]song
So [F]comrades, come [Bb]rally for this [C]is the time and [F]place!
The [A7]international [Dm]ideal u[Gm]nites the [C]human [F]race
Let [F]no one build walls to di[Bb]vide us
Walls of [C]hatred nor walls of [F]stone
Come [F]greet the dawn and stand be[Bb]side us
We'll live to[C]gether or we'll die a[F]lone
In our [G7]world poisoned by exploi[C7]tation
Those who have [G7]taken, now they must [C7]give!
And [Gm]end the vanity of [Dm]nations
We've but one [G7]Earth on which to [C7]live
So come [F]brothers and [Bb]sisters for the [C]struggle carries [F]on
The [F]Internatio[Bb]nale u[C]nites the world in [F]song
So [F]comrades, come [Bb]rally for this [C]is the time and [F]place!
The [A7]international [Dm]ideal u[Gm]nites the [C]human [F]race
And [F]so begins the final [Bb]drama
In the [C]streets and in the [F]fields
We [F]stand unbowed before their [Bb]armour
We de[C]fy their guns and [F]shields!
When we [G7]fight, provoked by their ag[C7]gression
Let us be [G7]inspired by life and [C7]love
For [Gm]though they offer us con[Dm]cessions
Change will [G7]not come from a[C7]bove!
So come [F]brothers and [Bb]sisters for the [C]struggle carries [F]on
The [F]Internatio[Bb]nale u[C]nites the world in [F]song
So [F]comrades, come [Bb]rally for this [C]is the time and [F]place!
The [A7]international [Dm]ideal u[Gm]nites the [C]human [F]race
