[D] [C]
[G] [C]
There's a great and a bloody fight [F] round this whole [C] world tonight,
and a battle of bombs and shrapnel [G] rain.
Hitler [C] told the world around he [F] would tear our [C] Union down,
but our Union's gonna break them slavery chains,
and our Union's [G] gonna break them [C] slavery chains.
[G] I walked up on a mountain [F] in the middle of [C] the sky,
could see every [G] farm and every town.
I [C] could see all the people in [F] this whole [C] wide world.
That's a Union that'll tear the fascists down, down, down.
That's a Union that'll tear the fascists down.
When I think of the men and [F] the ships going [C] down,
while the Russians fight on across [G] the Don,
[C] there's London in ruins [F] and Paris [C] in chains.
Good people, what are we waiting on?
Good people, what [G] are we waiting [C] on?
So I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets,
and the Allies, the whole wide [G] world around.
To the battling British tanks, you [F] can have ten [C] million yanks,
if it takes them to tear the fascists down, down, down.
[G] If it takes them to tear the fascists down.
But when I think of the ships [F] and the men [C] going down,
and the Russians fight on across the [G] Don,
there's [C] London in ruins [F] and Paris [C] in chains.
Good people, what are we waiting on?
Good people, [G] what are we waiting on?
So I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets,
and the Allies, the whole wide world around.
To the [C] battling British tanks, [F] you can have ten [C] million yanks,
if it takes them to tear the fascists down, down, down.
[G] If it takes them to tear the fascists [C] down.
