[Intro 1]

[Bbm][C][F][Bbm][F#]
[F][Bbm]

[Verse 1]
Captured Clandes[C]tine,[Fm]
Crawled in[F]to [Cm]the light,
[Db]Knew he was in [Ab]for a shoe-in,
[Gb]Just [Ebm]Just wasn't to be his night.[Ab]

[Verse 2]
[Bbm]Dragged out of the fr[C]ozen Rhine,
[Fm]For the Motherland,
And the third [Cm]reich,
[Db]Always [Ab]good to be shoe [Gb]in,[Ebm]
When it's not to be your [Ab]night,
Your night.

[Verse 3]
Tred care[Bbm]fully,
So carefully,
[A]On the drifting [D]ice
Behind enemy [E]lines,
[F]In [Bbm]1939,
For Germany,
He sac[A]rificed his life,
Caught behind enemy [E]lines,
[F]In[Bbm][Bbm]
[Gb]1939[F].[Bbm]

[Verse 4]
Kids knee deep in [C]rubble,[Fm]
London urchins grey with [Cm]dust,
[Db]Back of fout west [Ab]in evacuat[Gb]ion,
The [Ebm]farmers wives greeting pleasant lies,
Far [Ab]from [Bbm]the doodblebugs.

[Verse 5]
Nana doll still remem[C]bers,[Fm]
Leaving town in worn-out shoes,
[Cm]shoes,
[Db]Now she's back out w[Ab]est,
In [Gb]sheltered accommodation,
[Ebm]Homes for the old,
Where pills [Ab]aren't the only blues.

[Verse 6]
Tred care[Bbm]fully,
So carefully,
[A]On the drifting ice
[D]Staring blankly into the tv [E]guide,[F]
[Bbm]In 2009,
Oh how it hurts me,
I've [A]only seen her twice
Since she went west for
the second [E]time
[F]Since 1939.
