1939 Returning

Bm              C#7
Captured clandestine
F#m               C#m
Crawled into the lights
D         A              G
He knew he was in for a shoeing
Em                  F#
Just wasn't to be his night

Bm                      C#7
Dragged out of the frozen Rhine
F#m                            
For the Motherland and the Third 
C#m
Reich
D         A                G
A toeing's as good as a shoeing
Em                  F#
When it's not to be your night

Chorus:

Bm
Tread carefully, so carefully
A#
Upon the drifting ice
D#maj7
Caught behind enemy lines

In 1939

Verse:

Bm                   C#7
Kids knee-deep in rubble
F#m                     C#m
London urchins grey with dust
D        A                 G
Packed off ours in evacuations
Em
To farmers' wives

Green and pleasant lives
F#m
Far from the doodlebugs

Nanna Doll she still remembers
F#m                    C#m
Leaving town in worn-out shoes
D              A                  
Now she's back out west in sheltered

 the only blues

Since you went west for the second 
time
F        F#
Since 1939
