Bm               F#m
See the Reich in flames
       A              E
Try to save Berlin in vain
       Bm                     F#m
It’s a road through death and pain
       A                    D       A      E
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war

[Verse]
          A           E/G#
Who could ever have believed,
           F#m                 E
Seems like nothing’s been achieved
        D              A/C#             Bm         D       E
Just to walk a day, go all the way, the fronts are closing in
       A              E/G#            F#m       E
As the end is drawing near, the 12:th army interfere
     D               A/C#             Bm     D          E
Open up a route, get people out, it’s forces spread out thin

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                  F#m
It’s the end of the war
         E
Hold the corridor!
F#m   E/G# A Bm   C#
Reach for  Elbe’s shore

[Chorus]
F#m
 It’s the end, the war has been lost
A            D             A            E
Keeping them safe ’til the river’s been crossed
F#m
 Nicht ein Schlacht, ein Rettungsaktion
D             A               F#m      E
Holding their ground ’til the final platoon
F#m
“Hurry up, we’re waiting for you”
A          D           A       E
Men of the 9:th, and civilians too
F#m                                C#     F#m
 Dispossessed, surrendering to the west

[Verse]
          A                 E/G#
Who’ll survive and who will die?
      F#m              E
Up to kriegsglück to decide
          D                  A/C#             Bm     D     E
Those who made it cross, without a loss, have reason to reflect
      A            E/G#       F#m           E
It is not about Berlin, it is not about the Reich,
      D                 A/C#                  Bm        D      E
It’s about the men, who fought for them, what peace can they expect?

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                  F#m
It’s the end of the war
         E
Hold the corridor!
F#m   E/G# A Bm   C#
Reach for  Elbe’s shore

[Chorus]
F#m
 It’s the end, the war has been lost

 Dispossessed, surrendering to the west

Bm                       F#m
See the city burn on the other side
A                           E
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
Bm                           F#m
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
A                               D   A      E
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war

On the other shore, there’s the end of the war
