1939 Returning by Pete Doherty
1939 Returning
Verse:
Bm C#7
Captured clandestine
F#m C#m
Crawled into the lights
D A G
He knew he was in for a shoeing
Em F#
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
Chorus:
Bm
Tread carefully, so carefully
A#
Upon the drifting ice
D#maj7
Caught behind enemy lines
F F#
In 1939
Bm A#
For Germany he sacrificed his life
D#maj7
Caught behind enemy lines
F F#
There in 1939
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
Bm C#7
Nanna Doll she still remembers
F#m C#m
Leaving town in worn-out shoes
D A G
Now she's back out west in sheltered accommodations
Em F#m
Homes for the old where pills aren't the only blues
Chorus:
Bm
Tread carefully, so carefully
A#m
Upon the drifting ice
D#maj7
Staring blank into the TV guide
F F#
In 2009
Bm A#
How it's hurting me, I've only seen her twice
D#maj7
Since you went west for the second time
F F#
Since 1939
