_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ My _ [G] birthplace would be hard to find.
[F] It changed so many times, [A#] [C] I'm not sure where it [D] belongs. _ _ _ _
But [A] they tell me the Baltic [G] coast is full of amber,
[F] _ And the [A#] land was green [C] before [D] the tanks came. _
_ _ _ [A] One day I learned [G]
just how it used to [F] be,
The devil's curse [A#] brought the whole [C] world to its [D] knees,
[E] And it was, hey you, keep your head [F#] down,
Don't [E] you look around, please don't make a sound.
[C#m] If they should [B] find you [C#m] now, the wind [B] will shoot [A] you down. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ It's a mighty [G] long way out of the [F] darkness,
To [A#] where the sun [C] is free to [D] shine.
_ _ [D] _ _
Well, [A] the truck came by [G] and pulled us in the back,
[F] And left us where the [A#] railroad [C] tracks crossed [D] the line.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ [A] And the border guard [G] took us by the hand,
[F] And led us through the hole into [A#] the [C] promised land [D] beyond.
_ [E] And I can hear them now, with peace on the Lord,
When you get to the other side, just you and I,
Hey _ you, keep your head down,
Don't you look around, please don't make a sound.
[C#m] _
If they [B] should find you now, [C#m] the man [B] will shoot [A] you down.
_ _ [E] Hey you, keep your head down,
Don't you look around, please don't make a sound.
[C#m] _
If they should [B] find you [C#] now, the [B] man will shoot [A] you down. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's so simple. _ _ _ _ _

_ make a sound, [D] don't you hear me?
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] I thought I [G] found a quiet place,
[F] Where I could learn [A#] how to catch [C] my [D] childhood dreams.
_ _ _ _ But [A] on my left and to my [G] right they keep on shouting,
[F] _ _
While [A#] I'm just stuck here in [D] between.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Lord, I'm tired of running, [G] and I don't believe I can.
[Cm] I can hear them calling [A#] time [C] and time [D] again.
Can [E] I tell you, keep your head down,
Don't you look [F#] around, please [E] don't make a sound.
[C#m] If they [B] should find you now, the man will shoot [A] you down. _
