Intro:

 F# 

Verse 1:

 F#                     B 
 After the turn of the century,
       F#                    C#7 
In the clear blue skies over Germany.
       F#                         B 
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard,
         C#7                  F# 
Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird.

 F#                B 
 Up in the sky, a man in a plane,
 F#                     C#7 
 Baron von Richthoven, was his name.
 F#                    B 
 Eighty men tried and eighty men died,
            C#7                    F# 
Now they're buried together on the country side.

Chorus 1:

 F#                           B 
 Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and more,
    F#                   C#7 
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score.
 F#                         B 
 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,
       C#7                 F# 
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Verse 2:

       F#              B 
In the nick of time, a hero arose,
  F#                        C#7 
 A funny lookin' dog, with a big black nose.

 F#                   B 
He flew into the sky to seek revenge,
        C#7                           F# 
But the Baron shot him down; "Curses!  Foiled again!"

Chorus 2:

 F#                           B 
 Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and more,
    F#                   C#7 
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score.
 F#                         B 
 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,
       C#7                 F# 
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Verse 3:

    G                   C 
Now Snoopy'd swore that he'd get that man,
      G                             D7 
So he asked the great pumpkin for a new battle plan.
   G                          C 
He challenged the German to a real dog fight,
          D7                     G 
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight.

Verse 4:

    G#                   C# 
The bloody Red Baron was in a fix;
   G#                         D#7 
He tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks.
 G#                          C# 
 Snoopy fired once, then he  fired twice,
        D#7                  G# 
And the bloody Red Baron was spinnin' out of sight.

Chorus 3:
