Em D Em
They crossed over the border the hour before dawn
D Cmaj7
Moving in lines through the day
G D Am
Most of our planes were destroyed on the ground where they lay
Em D Em
Waiting for orders we held in the wood
D Cmaj7
Word from the front never came
G D Am
By evening the sound of the gunfire was miles away
Em Fmaj7
Ah softly we move through the shadows, slip away through the trees
Em Fmaj7
Crossing their lines in the mists in the fields on our hands and our knees
C G C G Em
And all that I ever, was able to see
Am G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
Em
The fire in the air, glowing red, silhouetting the smoke on the breeze
Em D Em
All summer they drove us back through the Ukraine
D Cmaj7
Smolensk and Viasma soon fell
G D Am
By autumn we stood with our backs to the town of Orel
Em D Em
Closer and closer to Moscow they come
D Cmaj7
Riding the wind like a bell
G D Am
General Guderian stands at the crest of the hill
Em Fmaj7
Winter brought with her the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads
Em Fmaj7
Glueing the tracks of their tanks to the ground while the sky filled
with snow
C G C G Em
And all that I ever, was able to see
Am G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
The fire in the air glowing red, silhouetting the snow on the breeze.
Am G Fmaj7
Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh x4
Am G Fmaj7
In the footsteps of Napoleon the shadow figures stagger through the winter
Am G Fmaj7
Falling back before the gates of Moscow, standing in the wings like an avenger
Am G Fmaj7
And far away behind their lines the partisans are stirring in the forest
Am G Fmaj7
Coming unexpectedly upon their outposts growing like a promise
Am G
You'll never know, you'll never know which way to turn, which way to
look
Fmaj7
you'll never see us
Am G
As we're stealing through the blackness of the night, you'll never know
Fmaj7
you'll never hear us
G Fmaj7 E Fmaj7
And the evening sings in a voice of amber the dawn is surely coming
G Fmaj7 E Fmaj7
The morning road leads to Stalingrad and the sky is, softly humming
Em D Em
Two broken tigers on fire in the night
D Cmaj7
Flicker their souls to the wind
G D Am
We wait in the lines for the final approach to begin
Em D Em
It's been almost four years that I've carried a gun
D Cmaj7
At home it will almost be spring
G D Am
The flames of the tigers are lighting the road to Berlin
Em Fmaj7
Ah, quickly we move through the ruins that bow to the ground
Em Fmaj7
The old men and children they throw out to face us, they can't slow us
down
C G C G Em
And all that I ever, was able to see
Am G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
The eyes of the city are opening now it's the end of the dream
Am G Fmaj7
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh x4
Am G
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, you can taste it in the wind the war
Fmaj7
is over
Am G Fmaj7
And I listen to the clicking of the train wheels as we roll across the border
Am G Fmaj7
And they ask me of the time I was caught behind their lines and taken prisoner
Am G Fmaj7
They only held me for a day a lucky break, I say, they turn and listen closer
Am G
I'll never know, I'll never know why I was taken from the line
Fmaj7
and all the others
Am G Fmaj7
To board a special train and journey deep into the heart of holy Russia
G Fmaj7 E Fmaj7
And it's cold and damp in the transit camp and the air is still and sullen
G Fmaj7 E Fmaj7
The pale sun of October whispers the snow will soon be coming
G Fmaj7 E Fmaj7
And I wonder when I'll be home again, and the morning answers, never
G Fmaj7 E
And the evening sighs and the steely Russian skies go on
Fmaj7 F
For ever...
