They crossed over the border, the hour before dawn
A
G
Em
G
Moving in lines through the day
D

Most of our planes were destroyed
Em
on the ground where they lay
Bm
A
Bm
Waiting for orders we held in the wood
A
G
Word from the front never came
D
By evening the sound of the gun
A
Em
G
Em
fire was miles away
B
Ah, softly we move through the shadows,
C
slip away through the trees
B
Crossing their lines in the mists in the
C
fields on our hands and on our knees
G
D
G

And all that I ever was able to see

The fire in the air glowing red,
G
D

silhouetting the smoke on the breeze
Bm
Verse 2
All summer they drove us back
A
Bm
through the Ukraine
A

Smolensk and Viasma soon fell
D

By autumn we stood with our backs

to the town of Orel
Bm
A
Closer and closer to Mo
Bm
scow they come
A
G
Riding the wind like a bell
D
A
General Guderian stands
Em
at the crest of the hill
B
Winter brought with her the rains,
C
oceans of mud filled the roads
B
Gluing the tracks of their tanks to the ground
C
while the sky filled with snow
G
D

And all that I ever was able to see

Verse 3
Em
D
In the footsteps of Napoleon the shadow
C
figures stagger through the winter
Em
Falling back before the gates of Moscow,
D
C
standing in the wings like an avenger
Em
And far away behind their lines the
D
C
partisans are stirring in the forest
Em
D
Coming unexpectedly upon their outposts,
C
growing like a promise
Em
You'll never know, you'll never know which way to turn,
D
C
which way to look you'll never see us
Em
As we're stealing through the
D
blackness of the night
C
You'll never know, you'll never hear us
D
C
And the evening sings in a voice of amber,
B
C
the dawn is surely coming
D
C
The morning roads leads to Stalingrad, and
B
C
the sky is softly humming
Bm
Verse 4
Bm
Two broken Tigers on fire in the night
A
G
Flicker their souls to the wind
D
A
We wait in the lines for the fi
nal approach to begin
Em
Bm
It's been almost four years
A
Bm
that I've carried a gun
A
G
At home it will almost be spring
D
The flames of the Tigers are
A
Em
lighting the road to Berlin
B
Ah, quickly we move through the
C
ruins that bow to the ground
B
The old men and children they send out to
C
face us, they can't slow us down
G
D
G
D
And all that I ever was able to see
B

the eyes of the city are opening

Now it's the end of the dream

I'm coming home,

C
Em
D
C
I'm coming
Em
home,
D
C
now you can taste it in the wind, the war is over
Em
And I listen to the clicking of the train-wheels
D
C
as as we roll across the border
Em
Bm
And now they ask me of the time that I was caught
D
C
behind their lines and taken prisoner
Em
"They only held me for a day,
D
C
a lucky break," I say they turn and listen closer
Em
I'll never know, I'll never know why
D
C
I was taken from the line and all the others
Em
To board a special train and journey
D
C
deep into the heart of holy Russia
D
C
And it's cold and damp in the transit camp,
B
C
and the air is still and sullen
D
C
And the pale sun of October whispers
B
C
the snow will soon be coming
D
C
And I wonder when I'll be home again
B
C
and the morning answers "Never"
D
And the evening sighs,
C
B
and the steely Russian skies go on forever

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
