There's a great and a bloody fight 'round this whole world tonight  
                                       G 
And the battle, the bombs and shrapnel reign 
       C                              F              C 
Hitler told the world around he would tear our union down 
  
But our union's gonna break them slavery chains  
                  G                  C 
Our union's gonna break them slavery chains 


C                                F             C 
I walked up on a mountain in the middle of the sky  
                               G 
Could see every farm and every town  
        C                          F          C           
I could see all the people in this whole wide world 
  
That's the union that'll tear old Hitler down 
                                  G        C 
That's the union that'll tear the fascists down 


C                               F           C 
When I think of the men and the ships going down 
                                       G  
While the Russians fight on across the dawn 
        C                   F        C 
There's London in ruins and Paris in chains 
  
Good people, what are we waiting on?  
                  G              C 
Good people, what are we waiting on? 


C                                F              C 
Yes, I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets 
                            G  
Allies the whole wide world around  
       C                                 F                C 
To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks  

If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down  
                   G                 C      
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down 


C 
But when I think of the ships and the men going down  
                                       G 
While the Russians fight on across the dawn 
        C                   F        C 
There's London in ruins and Paris in chains  

Good people, what are we waiting on?  
                  G              C 
Good people, what are we waiting on? 


C 
So I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets  
                            G 
Allies the whole wide world around  
       C                                 F                C                
To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks 
  
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down  
      G                              C 
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down
