Power in the hand of the worker

But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
 G                                    D       G
There is power in a Union

The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for
G                                                            C
From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud

Now I long for the morning that they realise
G                                                     D Dus4 D
Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us
G                                                C
But who'll defend the workers who cannot organise

What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child
