[Intro]
F#m D
See the Reich in flames
A E
Try to save Berlin in vain
F#m D
It's a road through death and pain
A E
On the other shore, there's the end of the war
[Verse 1]
F#m D
Who could ever have believed
A E
Seems like nothing's been achieved
F#m D A E
Just to walk a day, go all the way, the fronts are closing in
F#m D A E
As the end is drawing near, the 12th army interfere
F#m D A E
Open up a route, get people out, itâs forces spread out thin
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m Bm
It's the end of the war (Hold the corridor!)
F#m D
It's the end, the war has been lost
A E
Keeping them safe til the river's been crossed
F#m D
Nicht ein schlacht, ein rettungsaktion
A E
Holding their ground 'til the final platoon
F#m D
"Hurry up, we are waiting for you!"
A E
Men of the 9th, and civilians too
F#m D A E
Dispossessed, surrendering to the west
[Verse 2]
F#m D
Who'll survive and who will die?
A E
Up to kriegsgluck to decide
F#m D A E
Those who made it cross, without a loss, have reason to reflect
F#m D A E
It is not about Berlin, it is not about the Reich
F#m D A E
It's about the men, who fought for them, what peace can they expect?
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m Bm
It's the end of the war (Hold the corridor!)
F#m Bm D A E
Reach for Elbe's shore
[Chorus]
F#m D
It's the end, the war has been lost
A E
Keeping them safe til the river's been crossed
F#m D
Nicht ein schlacht, ein rettungsaktion
A E
Holding their ground 'til the final platoon
F#m D
"Hurry up, we are waiting for you!"
A E
Men of the 9th, and civilians too
F#m D A E
Dispossessed, surrendering to the west
[Bridge]
N.C.
See the city burn on the other side
N.C.
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
N.C.
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
N.C.
On the other shore, there's the end of the war
F#m D
See the city burn on the other side
A E
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
F#m D
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
A E
On the other shore, there's the end of the war
