We fighter pilots

Pre-Chorus
Dm                       C
Hold fire, is that some foreign chaps
F             G
Risking their necks?
       Dm                 C
That's right! Some of the bravest men

F               G
Were Polish and Czech!



C          G
We like to fire
        Bb                F
Beating Jerries' our one desire

Yeah yeah!
F              C
All we do each night is pray
      Dm            F
We'll live to fight another day


Take That Hitler!

Verse 2:
Am
My name is Douglas Barder
       F
Let me tell of my ordeal
     C
Lost both legs in an accident
G
These ones are not real (They're not real)
  Am
I left the air force after that
Bb
Flying was a hobby
    F
But when war broke in '39
     G
Came back! (Just like Robbie)

Dm        C
Shot down 22 of them
    F       G
Led the air attack
      Dm         C
Till finally the Luftwaffe
F      G
Hit me back! Oh no pretty baby



C            G
His plane on fire
         Bb
Stuck in Colditz
                F
Such a shame to retire

Yeah yeah!

F                 C
Never forget this great mans story
Dm              F
And his role in Britain's glory


Bridge:
   Bb
We flew in tough conditions
      F
Lucky to survive five missions

Ab
Not that I'm complaining
         Eb
But I've had just ten hours training
     Bb
Epic dogfights in the sky
F
Outnumbered, that's why
Ab
We're now known by you
Eb
As The Few...
F   Gm    Am   Bm
Phew, he missed me!

Verse 3:
Am
The Battle of Britain
        F
Was our pilots' finest hour
C
Although it seemed at first
            G
The Germans were the stronger power (Oh, so strong)
   Am
We mustered all our courage
   Bb
In summer 1940
F
Scrambled Air Force squadrons to fly
G
Sortie after sortie
Dm       C
Saw Nazi invasion off
F              G
Just as airmen should
Dm                C
Our bravery meant Hitler
         F           G
Wouldn't be back for good

No, no



C           G
We beat the Fuhrer
                    Bb
Without us frequent flyers
                   F
Your life would be poorer

Yeah yeah!
C       G
Britain securer
               Bb                   F
Our stories of heroics will forever endure

Wow, yeah yeah!

So I think you'll find its true...


"Never in the field of human conflict,
was so much owed, by so many, to so few." - Winston Churchill
