Genre: folk, political, protest
The Internationale is a left-wing anthem recognized by socialists,
communists, & anarchists the world over.
The original French lyrics were written ny Anarchist Eugene Pottier and set
to an original melody
composed by Pierre De Geyter, a Marxist. It has been translated in to many
different langgages.
This version is the one played by Alistair Hulett.
He plays it in Celtic Tuning (DADGAD) with a capo on the 3rd fret, in the Key
of F.
With the strings tuned DADGAD, the shapes required are:
D - 000200, D3 - 004200, D5 - 050200
A7 - X02002 or A7sus4 - X02000 or A5 - XO2202
Em7 - 222020 (barre the two lowest strings with 1st finger)
Gsus2 - 550000, G3 - X20020
You can also play it in Drop D tuning (DADGBE) or simply use standard tuning
with a normal G instead of a Gsus2. Up to you. DAGAD is the easiest option I
think.
[Intro]
D3 A7 Gsus2 G3 Gsus2 D5 (x2)
[Verse 1]
D A7 Gsus2
Arise ye workers from your slumbers
A D
Arise ye prisoners of want
A7 Gsus2
For reason in revolt now thunders
A D
And at last ends the age of cant.
Gsus2 A7 D
Away with all your superstitions
Gsus2 Em7 A7
Servile masses arise, arise
D
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
A7
And spurn the dust to win the prize.
[Chorus]
D Gsus2
So comrades, come rally
A7 D
And the last fight let us face
D3 A7 Gsus2 A7 Em7 A7
The Internationale unites the human race.
D Gsus2
So comrades, come rally
