Subject: The Internationale From: GUEST,Natalie Date: 14 Mar 01 - 05:32 AM Hi people.. For a long time I've been looking for the chords for the song "The Internationale", the old French workers' song. I would be thrilled if someone took the time to write down the chords for me. I have a very bad air, so I'm not able to figure them out by myself. I know lots of chords though, hehe.. I'd be really grateful if someone took the time!! Greetings, Natalie |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 14 Mar 01 - 07:09 PM Hi Natalie, Billy Bragg did a version of what I believe is the same song, and if I'm not mistaken, his official website has links to chords and lyrics for his stuff. I think the url is www.billybragg.co.uk Hope that helps, Timothy Cameron |

Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: THE INTERNATIONALE From: GUEST Date: 24 Sep 04 - 05:08 PM I know it's been a while, but I was recently looking for chords for The Internationale and came across the version by The New Singers from the "Songs For Political Action" CD and tried my hand at figurng them out. I think I got pretty close but could use a tweak or two if anyone out there would lend a hand. (I hope the line spacing lines up correctly.) Here they is: G C A-rise ye prisoners of sal-vation, D G A-rise ye wretched of the earth, G C For justice thunders condem-nation D G A better world's at birth D D7 No more traditions chains shall bind us A7 D Arise ye slaves, no more enthrall D G The earth shall rise on new foundations A7 D We have been naught, we shall be all. (Chorus): G C 'Tis the final conflict, D G - D7 let each stand in his place G C The International Soviet A D Shall be the human race G C 'Tis the final conflict, D G - D7 let each stand in his place G C The Internationale Soviet G D G Shall be the human race |

Here is the chorus: batlh may''a' Qav wIghobjaj, Qoy, be'nI'! Qoy, loDnI'! 'u' choHmoHbej ghobmaj, -- Hoch qo' roghvaH DIvI'. |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE INTERNATIONALE (Billy Bragg) From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 11 Oct 08 - 02:41 PM Here are the word s of Billy Bragg's version (From here): Stand up, all victims of oppression For the tyrants fear your might Don't cling so hard to your possessions For you have nothing, if you have no rights Let racist ignorance be ended For respect makes the empires fall Freedom is merely privilege extended Unless enjoyed by one and all Chorus: So come brothers and sisters For the struggle carries on The Internationale Unites the world in song So comrades come rally For this is the time and place The international ideal Unites the human race Let no one build walls to divide us Walls of hatred nor walls of stone Come greet the dawn and stand beside us We'll live together or we'll die alone In our world poisoned by exploitation Those who have taken, now they must give And end the vanity of nations We've but one Earth on which to live And so begins the final drama In the streets and in the fields We stand unbowed before their armour We defy their guns and shields When we fight, provoked by their aggression Let us be inspired by like and love For though they offer us concessions Change will not come from above Very worthy, but I feel somehow it lacks a bit of punch. |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: Art Thieme Date: 11 Oct 08 - 03:19 PM The version Paul Durst sang for me in 1961 is as it was sung by him and his Wobbly compatriots in the early years of the 2oth century. You can find the lyric in Archie Green's (and other's) grand VERY recent book called "THE BIG RED SONG BOOK" ---- contains just aboout every song published in the many editions of the Wobbly's Little Red Songbooks. I hope this helps you! Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: M.Ted Date: 11 Oct 08 - 10:08 PM This song is notoriously difficult to sing, first because the lyrics, and the ideas contained within, are overblown and cumbersome, and second, because there are so many different versions of the lyrics. How can you unite the proletariat to rise as one, when no one even agrees on the words to the battle cry? |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: Art Thieme Date: 11 Oct 08 - 10:16 PM MTed, Sort of true. Best to stick with the Wobbly preamble. Gets right to the point. Art ;-) |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: M.Ted Date: 12 Oct 08 - 02:29 PM If Woody had written "The Internationale", every school child would be singing it today. His genius was to express these ideas in simple, human terms, that everyone could understand, remember, and sing. I suspect that you could go through "The Internationale" line by line and find a Woody song that illustrated every point. |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: GUEST Date: 27 Sep 09 - 08:21 AM Michael Moore's new film, CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY, has a lounge version of this sung over the final credits. Took me half a chorus to recognize it! |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 27 Sep 09 - 10:32 AM The French words are better than any translation I've come across, in any language I can understand, anyway. Debout les damnés de la terre Debout les forçats de la faim La raison tonne en son cratère C'est l'éruption de la fin Du passe faisons table rase Foules, esclaves, debout, debout Le monde va changer de base Nous ne sommes rien, soyons tout C'est la lutte finale Groupons-nous, et demain (bis) L'Internationale Sera le genre humain (Mind, that Klingon version looks promising...) |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: ced2 Date: 28 Sep 09 - 05:07 AM Words always vary sonewhat as any english version is a translation. There is more than one verse and I frequently see a different order of verses 2 & 3. The chords shown in a guests version above are not wrong but would stand some refinement, try these:- The INTERNATIONAL G C Am Arise! ye starvelings from your slumbers, D G Arise ye criminals of want; C Am For reason in revolt now thunders, D D7 G And at last ends the age of cant. G D A7 D Now away with all super-stit-ions, A7 D Servile masses arise arise! G(or G7) We'll change forthwith the old con-dit-ions, D A7 D And spurn the dust to win the prize. Chorus:- D7 G C Am D Am G Then comrades come rall-y, And the last fight let us face, D Em Am D The Inter-nation-al, Un-ites the human race; D7 G C Am D D7 G Then comrades come rall-y, And the last fight let us face, E7 E Am G D G The Int-er-na-tion-al, Un-ites the hu-man race. No saviours from on high deliver, No trust have we in prince or peer, Our own right hand the chains must shiver, Chains of hatred of greed and fear; Ere the thieves will disgorge their booty, And to all give a happier lot, Each at his forge must do his duty, And strike the iron whilst its hot. Chorus We peasants artisans and others, Enrolled among the sons of toil; Let's claim the earth henceforth for brothers, Drive the indolent from the soil; On our flesh too long has fed the raven, We've too long been the vultures prey, But now farewell the spirit craven, The dawn brings in a brighter day. Chorus I have tried to get the precise timing of them correct but as I hav e them on a "word document" in 3 different fonts the copy and paste may have left someting to be desired. You will note that there is a key change from G to D & back to D. |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: Monique Date: 28 Sep 09 - 06:45 AM Anecdotally... The drunkards' chorus (Fr.) "C'est la cuite finale Soûlons-nous car demain, C'est l'eau minérale Qui remplacera le vin..." Transl. "It is the final bender Let's get drunk for tomorrow, It's mineral water That will replace the wine..." |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Internationale From: GUEST,JTT Date: 22 May 10 - 08:00 PM Just saw Capitalism, a Love Story. Fabulous version, by Tony Babino apparently (according to a web posting), who sings as Tony B. Some great music in this film; waiting eagerly for the soundtrack album. |
