Capo 3

Em Em  Em  Em

      G           Em
When they poured across the border
     G        Em
I was cautioned to surrender,
    G     D
this I could not do
C            G    B7
 I took my gun and vanished.
Em Em Em Em

     G         Em
I have changed my name so often,
    G         Em
I've lost my wife and children
    G        D
but I have many friends,
C               G  B7
  and some of them are with me.

     G       Em
An old woman gave us shelter,
     G       Em
kept us hidden in the garret,
     G       D
then the soldiers came.
C             G   B7
  she died without a whisper.
Em Em Em Em

      G         Em
There were three of us this morning
     G       Em
I'm the only one this evening
   G      D
but I must go on
C              G  B7
 the frontiers are my pri-son.
Em Em Em Em

     G         Em
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
      G          Em
through the graves the wind is blowing,
    G         D
freedom soon will come
C              G   B7
 then we'll come from the shadows.
