[Verse]

D     A    G            A                D
Katharina Jacob, long before she took that name
    Em   A        G          A
Was organizing workers in Hamburg just the same
D    A     G           A              D
Organizing beneath the flag of deepest red
      Em                        G        A
A new dawn of peace and freedom clearly shining in her head
D     A    G    A                 D
Katharina Jacob first was sent to jail
         Em     A        G                    A
When the trappings of democracy all began to fail
        D      A     G              A              D
She was frequently arrested, in and out of custody
          Em                   G               A
While her first husband was in hiding from the Nazis
D     A    G            A              D
Katharina Jacob was acquitted of a crime
D       Em   A                  G                A
But the gestapo had the last word and they weren't finished with her this time
        D       A     G                 A            D
She was sent to Ravensbrück, a killing hunger at her side
      Em          G                  A
She heard of the execution, how her second husband died
    D    A    G         A                D
For Katharina Jacob the end was close at hand
Em            G                 A
She was on a death march with a ragged, starving band
D         A        G             A          D
Marching through a forest, being led by the SS
           Em                        G              A
What would happen hours later seemed impossible to guess


[Chorus]

         D    A            G           A                D
When the sun came the next morning, it was the first of May
         Em           A         G D
And they all sang the Internationale
         Em           A         G D
And they all sang the Internationale


[Verse]

D     A    G     A                D
Katharina Jacob thought about her children
D       Em          A        G              A
And the friends and comrades taking care of them
D    A      G      A              D
Not knowing yet if any of them survived
D    Em          G                   A
Not knowing that soon she'd see her daughters both alive
D     A    G                A                 D
Katharina Jacob watched the German soldiers fleeing
D         Em       A      G                  A
Streaming from the east, that's what she was seeing
D    A      G      A              D
Allied bombers flew above them, she thought they all might die and then
D    Em          G             A
Soon there was the silence of all the SS men


[Chorus]

         D    A            G           A                D
When the sun came the next morning, it was the first of May
         Em           A         G D
And they all sang the Internationale
         Em           A         G D
And they all sang the Internationale


[Verse]

D     A    G     A                D
Katharina Jacob saw red flags flapping in the breeze
D       Em          A        G                A
Above the Russian tanks and she fell upon her knees
D    A      G      A              D
And so many different voices in so many different tongues
D             Em                        G              A
Sang the most beautiful song that could ever have been sung
D     A    G     A                D
In German, Lithuanian, in Polish and in Dutch
D       Em          A        G                A
A myriad of melodies as never had been such
D    A      G      A              D
In Russian and in Yiddish, Italian and French
D         Em       G                 A
Emerging from the forests beneath a trench


[Chorus]

         D    A            G           A                D
When the sun came the next morning, it was the first of May
         Em           A         G D
And they all sang the Internationale
         D    A            G           A                D
When the sun came the next morning, it was the first of May
         Em           A         G D
And they all sang the Internationale
         Em           A         G D
And they all sang the Internationale
D            A      G        A                D
Völker, hört die Signale! Auf zum letzten Gefecht!
D         Em           A         G      D
Die Internationale erkämpft das Menschenrecht
D            A      G        A                D
Völker, hört die Signale! Auf zum letzten Gefecht!
D         Em           A         G      D
Die Internationale erkämpft das Menschenrecht
