Key:
Intro: Dm A Dm
Dm In many a time, in many a land
F A With many a gun in many a hand
Dm They came by the night, they came by the day
F A Came with their guns to take us away
Dm Gm With a knock on the door, knock on
Dm the door
A Here they come to take one more,
Dm Dsus2 Dm one more
Dm Back in the days of the Roman Empire
F A They died by the cross and they died by the fire
Dm In the stone coliseum, the crowd gave a roar
F A And it all began with that knock on the door
Continues after the ad
Dm Gm Just a knock on the door, knock on
Dm the door.
A Here they come to take one more,
Dm Dsus2 Dm one more
Dm The years have all passed, we've reached modern times
F A The Nazis have come with their Nazi war crimes
Dm Yes, the power was there, the power was found
F A Six million people have heard that same sound
Dm Gm That old knock on the door, knock
Dm on the door
A Here they come to take one more,
Dm Dsus2 Dm one more
Dm Now there's many new words and many new names
F The banners have changed but the
A knock is the same
Dm On the Soviet shores with right on their side
F A I wonder who knows how many have died
Dm Gm With their knock on the door,
Dm knock on the door
A Here they come to take one more,
Dm Dsus2 Dm one more
Dm Look over the oceans, look over the lands
F A Look over the leaders with the blood on their hands
Dm And open your eyes and see what they do
F When they knock over their friend,
A they're knocking for you
Dm Gm With their knock on the door,
Dm knock on the door
A Here they come to take one more
Dm Gm With their knock on the door,
Dm knock on the door
A Here they come to take one more,
Dm Dsus2 Dm one more
