When they poured across the border
G
I was cautioned to surrender,
Em D
this I could not do
C G Em
I took my gun and vanished.
I have changed my name so often,
G Em
I've lost my wife and children
D
but I have many friends,
C Em
and some of them are with me.
Em
An old woman gave us shelter,
Kept us hidden in the garret,
D
then the soldiers came
C G Em
she died without a whisper.
G Em
There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
D
but I must go on
C Em
the frontiers are my prison.
Em
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
D
freedom soon will come
C G Em
then we'll come from the shadows.
Em
Les Allemands é taient chez moi,
ils me dirent, "Ré signe toi,"
D
mais je n'ai pas peur
C G Em
j'ai repris mon arme.
Em
J'ai changé cent fois de nom,
j'ai perdu femme et enfants
D
mais j'ai tant d'amis
C G Em
j'ai la France entiè re.
Em
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
pour la nuit nous a caché ,
D
les Allemands l'ont pris
C G Em
il est mort sans surprise.
Em
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
C G Em
then we'll come from the shadows.
