[VERSE]
         G                   C
There is power in a factory, power in the land
G                        D      Dsus4 D
Power in the hand of the worker
       G              GM7/F#       C
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
G                   D   G
There is power in a Union


[VERSE]
        G                            C
Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers blood
    G                              D       Dsus4 D
The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for
         G              GM7/F#       C
From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud
G                              D    G
War has always been the bosses way, sir


[CHORUS]
    G
The Union forever defending our rights
G                                   D
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
G                         GM7/F#       C
With our brothers and our sisters from many far-off lands
G                   D   G
There is power in a Union


[VERSE]
G                               C
Now I long for the morning that they realize
G                                       D Dsus4 D
Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us
G                     GM7/F#      C
But who'll defend the workers who cannot organize?
G                                         D     G
When the bosses send their lackeys out to cheat us?


[CHORUS]
G
Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own
G                                       D
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?
G                     GM7/F#   C
What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child
G                   D   G
There is power in a Union


[SOLO] – over Chorus Chords


[CHORUS]
G
The Union forever defending our rights
G                                   D
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
G                         GM7/F#  C
With our brothers and our sisters together we will stand
G                   D   G
There is power in a Union
