 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

 E                                            Fmaj7
Ah softly we move through the shadows, slip away through the trees

 E                                                      Fmaj7
Crossing their lines in the mists in the fields on our hands and our
knees

C                G     C              G      E
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

                               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

E                                             Fmaj7
Winter brought with her the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads

 E                                                         Fmaj7
Glueing the tracks of their tanks to the ground while the sky filled
with snow

C               G     C             G        E
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    
Em
The morning road leads to Stalingrad and the sky is, softly humming

                      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

 E                                          Fmaj7
Ah, quickly we move through the ruins that bow to the ground

     E                                                    Fmaj7
The old men and children they throw out to face us, they can't slow us
down

C               G     C             G       E
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                             
Fmaj7
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, you can taste it in the wind the war
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
