THE PARTISAN

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

2. I have changed my name so often,
I've lost my wife and children, but I have many friends.
And some of them are with me.

3. An old woman gave us shelter,
Kept us hidden in the garret, then the soldiers came.
She died without a whisper.

4. There were three of us this morning,
I'm the only one this evening, but I must go on.
The frontiers are my prison.

5. Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
Through the graves the wind is blowing, freedom soon will come.
Then we'll come from the shadows.

6. Les Allemands‚ etaient chez moi,
ons m'a dit: "Resigne toi," mais je n'ai pas peur.
J'ai repris mon arme.

7. J'ai changais‚ cent fois de nom, t
j'ai perdu femme et enfants, mais j'ai tant d'amis.
J'ai la France entière.

8. Un vieil homme dans un grenier,
pour la nuit nous a cachès, les Allemands l'ont prisent.
Il est mort sans surprise.

5. Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
Through the graves the wind is blowing, freedom soon will come.
Then we'll come from the shadows.

(capo 3rd)

(Leonard Cohen)
