Intro: Em

           G                     Em 
When they poured across the border 
         G                Em 
I was cautioned to surrender, 
        G         D 
this I could not do 
C                        G       B7   
  I took my gun and vanished. 
Em  Em  Em  Em 

         G                  Em 
I have changed my name so often, 
       G                 Em 
I've lost my wife and children 
       G               D 
but I have many friends, 
C                             G    B7  
   and some of them are with me. 
Em  Em Em Em 

         G             Em 
An old woman gave us shelter, 
         G             Em 
kept us hidden in the garret, 
         G              D 
then the soldiers came. 
C                          G     B7   
    she died without a whisper. 
Em Em Em Em 

           G                  Em       
There were three of us this morning               
          G              Em 
I'm the only one this evening                     
      G            D 
but I must go on                                 
C                           G   B7  
  the frontiers are my pri-son.                  
Em Em Em Em 

          G                 Em 
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,                
            G                   Em 
through the graves the wind is blowing,        
        G                 D 
freedom soon will come                           
C                           G      B7  
  then we'll come from the shadows.

Les Allemands  étaient chez moi,        The Germans were at my home 
        G              Em

        G            D 
mais je n'ai pas peur;                      But I am not afraid 
C                     G   B7  
   j'ai repris mon arme.                  I have retaken my weapon.
