[Verse 1]
They crossed [Bm]over the border, the [A]hour before [Bm]dawn
[A]Moving in lines through the [G]day[Em][G]
[D]Most of our planes were des[A]troyed
on the ground where they [Em]lay
[Bm]Waiting for orders we [A]held [Bm]in the wood
[A]Word from the front never [G]came
By [D]evening the sound of the gun
[A]fire was miles [Em]away[G][Em]
[B]Ah, softly we move through the shadows,
slip [C]away through the trees
[B]Crossing their lines in the mists in the
fields on our [C]hands and on our knees
[G]And all that I eve[D]r was[G] able to see[D]
[B]The fire in the air[Em] glowing red,[D]
silhou[G]etting [D]the smoke on the [C]breeze
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
All summer they drove us back
[A]through [Bm]the Ukraine
[A]Smolensk and Viasma soon [G]fell
By [D]autumn we stood [A]with our backs
to the town [Em]of Orel
[Bm]Closer and closer to [A]Mo
scow [Bm]they come
[A]Riding the wind like a [G]bell
[D]General Guderi[A]an stands
at the crest of the [Em]hill
[B]Winter brought with her the rains,
oceans of [C]mud filled the roads
[B]Gluing the tracks of their tanks to the ground
while the [C]sky filled with snow
[G]And all that I eve[D]r was[G] able to see[D]
[B]The fire in the air[Em] glowing red [D]silhouetti[Em]ng the sno[D]w on t[C]he breeze
[Em][D]

[Verse 3]
In the foot[Em]steps of Napoleon the [D]shadow
figures stagger through the [C]winter
Falling [Em]back before the gates of Moscow,
[D]standing in the wings like an [C]avenger
And [Em]far away behind their lines the
[D]partisans are stirring in the [C]forest
[Em]Coming unexpectedly upon their [D]outposts,
growing [C]like a promise
You'll never [Em]know, you'll never know which way to turn,
[D]which way to look you'll never [C]see us
As we're [Em]stealing through the
blackness of the [D]night
You'll never know, you'll never [C]hear us
And the [D]evening sings in a [C]voice of amber,
the [B]dawn is surely [C]coming
The [D]morning roads leads [C]to Stalingrad, and
[B]the sky is softly [C]humming
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Two broken Tigers on fire in the night
[A]Flicker their souls to the [G]wind
We [D]wait in the lines for the [A]fi
nal approach to begin
[Em]It's been almost[Bm] four years
that I've [A]carried [Bm]a gun
At [A]home it will almost be [G]spring
The [D]flames of the Tigers are
[A]lighting the road to Ber[Em]lin
[B]Ah, quickly we move through the
ruins that [C]bow to the ground
The [B]old men and children they send out to
face us, they [C]can't slow us down
[G]And all that I eve[D]r was[G] able to see[D]
[B]the eyes of [Em]the city are ope[D]ning
[G]Now it's [D]the end of the [C]dream

[Verse 5]
[Em]I'm [D]comi[C]ng home,[Em][D][C]
[Em]I'm [D]comi[C]ng[Em][D][C]
[Em]home,
now you can [D]taste it in the wind, the war is [C]over
And I [Em]listen to the clicking of the train-wheels
[D]as as we roll across the [C]border
And now they [Em]ask m[Bm]e of the time that I was caught
[D]behind their lines and taken [C]prisoner
"They only held [Em]me for a day,
a lucky break," [D]I say they turn and listen [C]closer
I'll never know, [Em]I'll never know why
[D]I was taken from the line and all the [C]others
To [Em]board a special train and journey
[D]deep into the heart of holy [C]Russia
And [D]it's cold and damp in the [C]transit camp,
and the [B]air is still and sul[C]len
And the [D]pale sun of Oc[C]tober whispers
the [B]snow will soon be com[C]ing
And I [D]wonder when I'll be [C]home again
and the [B]morning answers [C]"Never"
And the [D]evening sighs,
and the [C]steely Russian [B]skies go on forever
