Chords with lyrics
THE SEIGFRIED LINE
Words and music by Billy Joel
A augmentedA
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
All the guns are silent on the Western wall
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
And we clean the rifles that we never use at all
D MajorD A augmentedA
And we're writing letters just to pass the time
E MajorE A augmentedA
And the days go by on the Siegfried Line.
Oh they say the English have given up the war
And we've heard the Russians won't last through '44
But a long-time soldier has an open mind
And a man grows old on the Siegfried Line.
E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD
Soon, soon, they say the war will be over
E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
Home, home, we will be home in the summer
We light the campfire and we drink the beer
And we know the flag we fly must last a thousand years
And we eat Dutch chocolate and we drink french wine
And they feed us well on the Siegfried Line.
Soon, soon, they say the war will be over
Home, home, we will be home in the summer
