C F C 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
