Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Difficulty: Novice

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.
