Intro: Am Am / Am Am
C E Am
When they poured across the border
C E Am
I was cautioned to surrender
C G
This I could not do;
F F C E / Am Am / Am Am
I took my gun and vanished
C E Am
I have changed my name so often
C E Am
I've lost my wife and children
C G
But I have many friends
F F C E / Am Am / Am Am
And some of them are with me
C E Am
An old woman gave us shelter
C E Am
Kept us hidden in the garret
C G
Then the soldiers came;
F F C E Am Am / Am Am
She died without a whisper
C E Am
There were three of us this morning
C E Am
I'm the only one this evening
C G
But I must go on;
F F C E Am Am / Am Am
The frontiers are my prison
C E Am
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
C E Am
Through the graves the wind is blowing
C G
Freedom soon will come;
F F C E / Am Am / Am Am
Then we'll come from the shadows
E Am
Les Allemands étaient chez moi
C E Am
Ils me dirent, "Signe toi,"
C G
Mais je n'ai pas peur;
F F C E / Am Am / Am Am
J'ai repris mon arme
C E Am
J'ai changé cent fois de nom
C E Am
J'ai perdu femme et enfants
C G
Mais j'ai tant d'amis;
F C E / Am Am / Am Am
J'ai la France entière
C E Am
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
C E Am
Pour la nuit nous a caché
C G
Les Allemands l'ont pris;
F F C E / Am Am / Am Am
Il est mort sans surprise
C E Am
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
C E Am
Through the graves the wind is blowing
C G
Freedom soon will come;
F F C E / Am AM / Am Am
Then we'll come from the shadows
