Written in 1871, it was a poem first and then it was turned into a song ten years later.
And originally it was in French, it was written at a time when France was [Bb] at war with Prussia, as they often were,
and the working class of Paris took the occasion to seize control of the city and form the Paris Commune,
which lasted a fair while until the French and Prussian aristocracies suddenly realized they had more in common than they thought
and they teamed up and [Bbm] took Paris from the [G] Parisians.

Our own right [G] hand of jade must shiver, [D] Take the hatred, greed and [G] fear!
Tear the feet, we'll unwhip their booty, And give you [D] all a happier lot,
Each at the foreclose to their duty, And strike when the iron is [G] hot!
