[Verse 1]
G D Em D C
You're not my brother, nor my countryman
G D C
Not my sister or my friend
G D Em D C
But you're my comrade, be so 'til the last
G D G
They shall not pass; they shall not pass
G D Em D C
Now blood is running through the streets of Spain
G D C
And London gripped in fear
G D Em D C
Oh, smell of gunfire, sound of breaking glass
G D G
You shall not pass; you shall not pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D
Why fight the good fight, fight the good fight?
Em D G D
Why not let them burn?
Em D C D Em D G C
I dread the day when the suffering of my fellow is none of my concern, so
[Chorus]
D C G
Stand up today that we might save tomorrow
D C G
Oh I know there's a way that we might save tomorrow
D C G D
Yes its late in the day but we might save tomorrow, if we try
Em D
I shall not turn against my brother
C G
For his creed or for his colour
Em D
Nor the one he takes his lover
C
Or his class
D G
You that beckon me that way, you shall not pass
[Verse 2]
G D Em D C G D C
And you who speak of ideology, who speak of people like they're pawns
G D Em D C
Whose motives lie 'neath frosted glass
G D G
You shall not pass; you shall not pass
G D Em D C
In the name now of humanity,
G D C
Not left nor right, not black nor white
G D Em D C
Tear the fascist flag now from its mast
G D G
It shall not pass; it shall not pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D
Why fight the good fight, fight the good fight?
Em D G D
Why not let them burn?
Em D C D Em D G C
I dread the day when the suffering of my fellow is none of my concern, so
[Chorus]
D C G
Stand up today that we might save tomorrow
D C G
Oh I know there's a way that we might save tomorrow
D C G D
Yes its late in the day but we might save tomorrow, if we try
Em D
We shall not turn against each other
C G
For our creed or for our colour
Em D
Nor the ones we take our lovers
C
Or our class
D G
You that beckon me that way, you shall not pass
[Bridge]
D Em D C
Stand up and speak, it's not a call to arms
D Em D C
Get on your feet, it's not a call to arms
D Em D C
Get on the street, it's not a call to arms
G D
It's a call to helping hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D
Why fight the good fight, fight the good fight?
Em D G D
Why not let them burn?
Em D C D Em D G C
I dread the day when the suffering of my fellow is none of my concern, so
[Chorus]
D C G
Stand up today that we might save tomorrow
D C G
Oh I know there's a way that we might save tomorrow
D C G D
Yes its late in the day but we might save tomorrow, if we try
Em D
I shall not turn against my brother
C G
For his creed or for his colour
Em D
Nor the one he takes his lover
C
Or his class
D G
You that beckon me that way, you shall not pass
