Knock on the Door

Intro: DmDm A augmentedA DmDm


  DmDm
In many a time, in many a land
   FF       A augmentedA
With many a gun in many a hand
   DmDm
They came by the night, they came by the day
 FF            A augmentedA
Came with their guns to take us away
    DmDm         G minorGm      DmDm
With a knock on the door, knock on the door
          A augmentedA         DmDm Dsus2Dsus2 DmDm
Here they come to take one more, one more

  DmDm
Back in the days of the Roman Empire
   FF             A augmentedA
They died by the cross and they died by the fire
   DmDm
In the stone coliseum, the crowd gave a roar
   FF            A augmentedA
And it all began with that knock on the door
    DmDm         G minorGm      DmDm
Just a knock on the door, knock on the door.
          A augmentedA         DmDm Dsus2Dsus2 DmDm
Here they come to take one more, one more


DmDm
The years have all passed, we've reached modern times
   FF             A augmentedA
The Nazis have come with their Nazi war crimes
  DmDm
Yes, the power was there, the power was found
   FF          A augmentedA
Six million people have heard that same sound
     DmDm         G minorGm      DmDm
That old knock on the door, knock on the door
          A augmentedA         DmDm Dsus2Dsus2 DmDm
Here they come to take one more, one more


  DmDm
Now there's many new words and many new names
   FF              A augmentedA
The banners have changed but the knock is the same
  DmDm
On the Soviet shores with right on their side
   FF         A augmentedA
I wonder who knows how many have died
      DmDm         G minorGm      DmDm
With their knock on the door, knock on the door
          A augmentedA         DmDm Dsus2Dsus2 DmDm
Here they come to take one more, one more


  DmDm
Look over the oceans, look over the lands
   FF             A augmentedA
Look over the leaders with the blood on their hands
  DmDm
And open your eyes and see what they do
   FF                   A augmentedA
When they knock over their friend, they're knocking for you
      DmDm         G minorGm      DmDm
With their knock on the door, knock on the door
          A augmentedA
Here they come to take one more
      DmDm         G minorGm      DmDm
With their knock on the door, knock on the door
          A augmentedA        DmDm Dsus2Dsus2 DmDm
Here they come to take one more, one more
