G+G E minorEm
When they poured across the border
G+G
I was cautioned to surrender,
E minorEm D MajorD
this I could not do;
C majorC G+G E minorEm
I took my gun and vanished.
I have changed my name so often,
G+G E minorEm
I've lost my wife and children
D MajorD
but I have many friends,
C majorC E minorEm
and some of them are with me.
E minorEm
An old woman gave us shelter,
Kept us hidden in the garret,
D MajorD
then the soldiers came;
C majorC G+G E minorEm
she died without a whisper.
G+G E minorEm
There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
D MajorD
but I must go on;
C majorC E minorEm
the frontiers are my prison.
E minorEm
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
D MajorD
freedom soon will come;
C majorC G+G E minorEm
then we'll come from the shadows.
E minorEm
Les Allemands étaient chez moi,
ils me dirent, "Résigne toi,"
D MajorD
mais je n'ai pas peur;
C majorC G+G E minorEm
j'ai repris mon âme.
E minorEm
J'ai changé cent fois de nom,
j'ai perdu femme et enfants
D MajorD
mais j'ai tant d'amis;
C majorC G+G E minorEm
j'ai la France entière.
E minorEm
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
pour la nuit nous a caché,
D MajorD
les Allemands l'ont pris;
C majorC G+G E minorEm
il est mort sans surprise.
E minorEm
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
C majorC G+G E minorEm
then we'll come from the shadows.
