Knock On The Door Chords & Lyrics - Phil Ochs

Intro: [Dm] [A] [Dm]

In [Dm]many a time, in many a land
With m[F]any a gun in m[A]any a hand
They c[Dm]ame by the night, they came by the day
C[F]ame with their guns to t[A]ake us away
With a k[Dm]nock on the door, k[Gm]nock on the d[Dm]oor
Here they come to t[A]ake one more, one m[Dm]ore [Dsus2] [Dm]

Bac[Dm]k in the days of the Roman Empire
They d[F]ied by the cross and they d[A]ied by the fire
In the[Dm] stone coliseum, the crowd gave a roar
And i[F]t all began with that kn[A]ock on the door
Just a k[Dm]nock on the door, k[Gm]nock on the d[Dm]oor.
Here they come to t[A]ake one more, one m[Dm]ore [Dsus2] [Dm]

[Dm]The years have all passed, we've reached modern times
The Na[F]zis have come with their Na[A]zi war crimes
Yes[Dm] , the power was there, the power was found
Six mi[F]llion people have hea[A]rd that same sound
That old k[Dm]nock on the door, k[Gm]nock on the d[Dm]oor
Here they come to t[A]ake one more, one m[Dm]ore [Dsus2] [Dm]

Now[Dm] there's many new words and many new names
The ba[F]nners have changed but the k[A]nock is the same
On [Dm]the Soviet shores with right on their side
I wond[F]er who knows how m[A]any have died
With their k[Dm]nock on the door, k[Gm]nock on the d[Dm]oor
Here they come to t[A]ake one more, one m[Dm]ore [Dsus2] [Dm]

Loo[Dm]k over the oceans, look over the lands
Look o[F]ver the leaders with the b[A]lood on their hands
And[Dm] open your eyes and see what they do
When t[F]hey knock over their friend, they're k[A]nocking for you
With their k[Dm]nock on the door, k[Gm]nock on the d[Dm]oor
Here they come to t[A]ake one more
With their k[Dm]nock on the door, k[Gm]nock on the d[Dm]oor
Here they come to t[A]ake one more, one[Dm] mor[Dsus2]e [Dm]
