G# C Fm
When they poured a-cross the border
G# C Fm
I was cautioned to sur-render,
G# D#
this I could not do;
C# G# C Fm
I took my gun and van-ished.

G# C Fm
I have changed my name so often,
G# C Fm
I've lost my wife and children
G# D#
but I have many fri-ends,
C# G# C Fm
and some of them are with me.

G# C Fm
An old woman gave us shelter,
G# C Fm
kept us hidden in the garret,
G# D#
then the soldiers came;
C# G# C Fm
she died without a whis-per.

G# C Fm
There were three of us this morning
G# C Fm
I'm the only one this evening
G# D#
but I must go on;
C# G# C Fm
the fron-tiers are my pri-son.

G# C Fm
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
G# C Fm
through the graves the wind is blowing,
G# D#
freedom soon will come;
C# G# C Fm
then we'll come from the shad-ows.

G# C Fm
Les Alle-mands é-taient chez moi,
G# C Fm
ils me dirent: "Ré-signe toi,"
G# D#
mais je n'ai pas peur;
C# G# C Fm
j'ai repris mon ar- me.

G# C Fm
J'ai chan-gé cent fois de nom,
G# C Fm
j'ai per-du femme et en-fants
G# D#
mais j'ai tant d'a-mis;
C# G# C Fm
j'ai la France en-tière.

G# C Fm
Un vieil homme dans un gre-nier
G# C Fm
pour la nuit nous a ca-chés,
G# D#
les Alle-mands l'ont pris;
C# G# C Fm
il est mort sans surpri-se. .

G# C Fm
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
G# C Fm
through the graves the wind is blowing,
G# D#
freedom soon will come;
C# G# C Fm
then we'll come from the shad-ows
