Verse:
F#m         Bm             E            F#m
So silent before the storm, awaiting command
               Bm
A few has been chosen to stand
   A                  Db
As one outnumbered by far
F#m             Bm
The orders from high command:
E                     F#m
Fight back, hold your ground!
            Bm
In early September it came
  A                  Db
A war unknown to the world

Pre-Chorus:
A           E
No army may enter that land
     F#m             A      E
That is protected by Polish hand
A              E
Unless you are 40 to 1
     D                    Db
Your force will soon be undone, undone

Second to none
F#m                    D       A    Db
Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt

Verse:
F#m           Bm
The 8th of September it starts
E               F#m
The rage of the Reich
             Bm
A barrage of mortars and guns
      A                      Db
Stand fast, the bunkers will hold
F#m             Bm
The captain has pledged his life
E                  F#m
"I'll face my fate here!"
               Bm
The sound of artillery strike
   A                     Db
So fierce the thunder of guns

Pre-Chorus:
   A             E
So come bring on all that you've got
     F#m                    A     E
Come hell, come high water, never stop
A              E
Unless you are 40 to 1
     D                  Db
Your lives will soon be undone, undone
