Version 1
            Dedicado a León Trotsky, Emiliano Zapata y Comandante Che Guevara


[Verse 1]
      F                 Bb
Stand up all victims of oppression 
        C7                F     C7
For the tyrants fear your might
      F                     Bb
Don't cling so hard to your possessions 
             C7                    F
For you have nothing if you have no rights 
    C      G7           C
Let racist ignorance be ended
      G7                      C   G7
For respect makes the empires fall
           C       C7       F
Freedom is merely privilege extended
         C        G7      C   C7
Unless enjoyed by one and all
 
 
[Chorus]
        F            Bb
So come brothers and sisters
         C7              F  C7
For the struggle carries on
    F     C7   Dm  A7
The Inter-national-e
 Bb        G7       C    C7
Unites the world in song
   F              Bb
So comrades, come rally
         C7              F    F7
For this is the time and place
    D7       Gm7
The international ideal
 F         C7    F
Unites the human race
 
 
[Verse 2]
    F                      Bb
Let no one build walls to divide us
         C7                  F     C7
Walls of hatred nor walls of stone
     F                          Bb
Come greet the dawn and stand beside us
           C7                     F
We'll live together or we'll die alone
       C        G7             C
In our world poisoned by exploitation
               G7                   C   G7
Those who have taken, now they must give
    C       C7        F
And end the vanity of nations
              C        G7       C   C7
We've but one Earth on which to live
 
 
[Chorus]
        F            Bb
So come brothers and sisters
         C7              F  C7
For the struggle carries on
    F     C7   Dm  A7
The Inter-national-e
 Bb        G7       C    C7
Unites the world in song
   F              Bb
So comrades, come rally
         C7              F    F7
For this is the time and place
    D7       Gm7
The international ideal
 F         C7    F
Unites the human race
 
 
[Verse 3]
    F                   Bb
And so begins the final drama
       C7                 F      C7
In the streets and in the fields
   F                          Bb
We stand unbowed before their armor
     C7                F
We defy their guns and shields
        C         G7                C
When we fight, provoked by their aggression
          G7                   C   G7
Let us be inspired by life and love
    C           C7          F
For though they offer us concessions
            C        G7    C   C7
Change will not come from above
 
 
[Chorus]
        F            Bb
So come brothers and sisters
         C7              F  C7
For the struggle carries on
    F     C7   Dm  A7
The Inter-national-e
 Bb        G7       C    C7
Unites the world in song
   F              Bb
So comrades, come rally
         C7              F    F7
For this is the time and place
    D7       Gm7
The international ideal
 F         C7    F
Unites the human race
