Leonard Cohen - The partisan

When they ^Bbpoured a^Fcross the ^Gmborder, I was ^Bbcautioned ^Fto su^Gmrrender This I ^Bbcould not ^Fdo, ^Eb I took my gun and ^Bbvanished ^{D7 Gm}

I have ^Bbchanged my ^Fname so ^Gmoften, I've ^Bblost my ^Fwife and ^Gmchildren But I ^Bbhave many ^Ffriends,^Eb and some of them are ^Bbwith me ^{D7 Gm}

An old ^Bbwoman ^Fgave us ^Gmshelter, kept us ^Bbhidden^F in the ^Gmgarret Then the ^Bbsoldiers ^Fcame,^Eb she died without a ^Bbwhisper ^{D7 Gm}

There were ^Bbthree of ^Fus this ^Gmmorning, I'm the ^Bbonly ^Fone this ^Gmevening But I ^Bbmust go ^Fon,^Eb the frontiers are my ^Bbprison ^{D7 Gm}

Oh, the ^Bbwind, the ^Fwind is ^Gmblowing through the ^Bbgraves the ^Fwind is ^Gmblowing ^BbFreedom soon will ^Fcome,^Eb then we'll come from the ^Bbshadows ^{D7 Gm}

Les Alle^Bbmands é^Ftaient chez ^Gmmoi, ils me ^Bbdirent, re^Fsigne-^Gmtoi [The Germans were at my home, they told me to surrender] Mais je ^Bbn'ai pas ^Fpu,^Eb j'ai repris mon ^Bbarme ^{D7 Gm} [But I could not do, I have retaken my weapon]

J'ai chan^Bbgé cent ^Ffois de ^Gmnom, j'ai per^Bbdu femme ^Fet en^Gmfants [I have changed names a hundred times, I have lost wife and children] Mais j'ai ^Bbtant d'a^Fmis,^Eb j'ai la France en^Bbtière ^{D7 Gm} [But I have so many friends, I have entire France]

Un vieil ^Bbhomme dans ^Fun gre^Gmnier pour la ^Bbnuit nous ^Fa ca^Gmchés [An old man in an attic kept us hidden for the night] Les Alle^Bbmands l'ont ^Fpris,^Eb il est mort sans sur^Bbprise ^{D7 Gm} [The Germans took him, he died without surprise]

Oh, the ^Bbwind, the ^Fwind is ^Gmblowing, through the ^Bbgraves the ^Fwind is ^Gmblowing ^BbFreedom soon will ^Fcome,^Eb then we'll come from the ^Bbshadows ^{D7 Gm}
