Artist: 16 Horsepower
[G]When they poured across the [Em]border
I was cautioned [G]to surrender,
[Em]this I could not do;[D]
[C]I took my gun and [G]vanished.[Em]
I have changed my name so often,
[G]I've lost my wife and[Em] children
[D]but I have many friends,
[C]and some of them are with me[Em] .
[Em]An old woman gave us shelter,
Kept us hidden in the garret,
then the soldiers came[D] ;
[C]she died without a [G]whisper[Em] .
There were [G]three of us this [Em]morning
I'm the only one this evening
but I must go[D] on;
[C]the frontiers are my [Em]prison.
[Em]Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon [D]will come;
[C]then we'll come from [G]the shadows.[Em]
[Em]Les Allemands étaient chez moi,
ils me dirent, "Résigne toi,"
mais je n'ai [D]pas peur;
[C]j'ai repris mon [G]âme.[Em]
[Em]J'ai changé cent fois de nom,
j'ai perdu femme et enfants
mais j'ai tant [D]d'amis;
[C]j'ai la France [G]entière.[Em]
[Em]Un vieil homme dans un grenier
pour la nuit nous a caché,
les Allemands [D]l'ont pris;
[C]il est mort sa[G]ns surprise[Em] .
[Em]Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
[C]then we'll com[G]e from the sha[Em]dows.
