[C] [G]
There's power in a factory, [C] power in the [G] land, power in the hand [D] of the workers.
[G] But it all amounts to nothing [C] if together we don't [G] stand.
There's power [D] in [G] a union.
Now the lessons of the past [C] we'll all learn with workers' [G] blood.
The spikes of the bosses [D] we must fight for.
[G] From the cities and the [C] farmlands to trenches full of [G] mud.
War's always been the [D] boss's [G] wise son.
The union [C] forever [G] defending our rights.
Now with the black men workers unite.
With our brothers and our [D] sisters, [C] with any far [G] off rights.
There is power [D] in a [G] union.
Now I long for the [C] morning that I realise [G] brutality and unjust laws [D] cannot defeat us.
[G] But who defend the workers [C] who cannot [G] organise?
When the bosses send their lackeys out [D] to [G] cheat us.
Money speaks for [C] money, [G] the devil for his own.
Who comes to [C] speak [G] for the skin and the bone?
Comfort to the [D] widow, [C] light to the [G] child.
But there is power in [D] a [G] union.
[Em] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
The union defending our rights.
Now with the [C] black [G] men [D] workers unite.
[G] With our brothers and our sisters, [C]
together we will [G] stand.
There is power [D] in a [G] union.
