A                 D                     A
All the guns are silent on the western wall
A                 D              A            E  A
And we clean the rifles that we never used at all
A                  D                        A
And we're writing letters just to pass the time
A               Bm7 E
And the days go by
                  A
On the Siegfried line

Oh, they say the English
Have given up the war
And we heard the Russians
Won't last through '44
But a long-time soldier
Has an open mind
And a man grows old
On the Siegfried Line

Cmaj7                                G
Soon, soon, they say the war will be over
       D   Dsus2 D Dsus2
Ooooohhhhhh
Cmaj7                               D  Dsus2 D Dsus2
Home, home, we will be home in the summer
      A
Nah, nah

Oh, we line the campfire
And we drink the beer
And we know the flag we fly
Must last a thousand years
And we eat Dutch chocolate
And we drink French wine
And they feed us well
On the Siegfried Line

Soon, soon
They say the war will be over
Oh, woah
Home, home
We will come home in the summer
No, no
