Verse:



Bm              C#7

Captured clandestine

Crawled into the lights

He knew he was in for a shoeing

Just wasn't to be his night



Bm                      C#7

Dragged out of the frozen Rhine

F#m                            C#m

For the Motherland and the Third Reich

D         A                G          

A toeing's as good as a shoeing

Em                  F#

When it's not to be your night

Tread carefully, so carefully

Upon the drifting ice

In 1939

For Germany he sacrificed his life

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

Leaving town in worn-out shoes

D              A                   G

Now she's back out west in sheltered accommodations

Homes for the old where pills aren't the only blues

Tread carefully, so carefully

A#m

Upon the drifting ice

Staring blank into the TV guide

In 2009



Bm                   A#

How it's hurting me, I've only seen her twice

Since you went west for the second time

F        F#

Since 1939
