G
Gm
The story's
told of how in 1942
D
Martin Fontache, poet,
Gm
carpenter and Jew
D
With a band of partisans threw in his lot
Till he was taken by
the Germans to be shot
Gm
He was a peaceful man,
Cm
quick to laugh and cry
F
At every village celebration he'd be there
Bb
Eb
With his songs they're told
of sadness and of joy
Cm
D
And the guitar he carried
with him everywhere
Gm
But when the Nazis came and killed
his wife and son
D
Martin traded his guitar in for a gun
Gm
G
This song is for those
C
G
who are cast out by history
Bb
The banned and abandoned,
C
G
the spurned and ignored
Whose homes have been taken,
C
G
whose dreams have been broken,
F
Who huddled on Hillside's demand
C
G
Gm
Gsus4
to be heard.
G
Gm
The German soldier
D
assigned to kill the Jew,
As it happened,
Gm
was a music lover too,
And this bond, it seems,
D
is what made him decide
To offer Martin one last wish
Soon my soul, Martin said,
Cm
will dance on air
F
Now all I ask is time to write
my farewell song
Bb
Eb
The German soldier checked his watch
and said, one hour
Cm
D
One hour, Martin remarked, that long
Gm
And so he wrote and sang full voice
to raise the dead
D
And then the German put
Gm
a bullet in his head
G
And this song is for those
C
G
who were cast out by history,
Bb
Abandoned, abandoned,
Cm
the spurned and ignored,
G
Whose homes have been taken,
whose dreams have been broken,
F
Who huddled on a health -size
C
G
Gm
Gsus4
G
demand to be heard.
Gm
The German kept the song,
G
D
abract of what he'd done,
And showed it proudly
when in drink to everyone
Gm
He couldn't read the words
D
and didn't seem to see
That a song cannot take root
And then one night,
D
Cm
two parties and set out
F
The song must be released,
Eb
They slipped into his quarters,
and gave it wings to fly
And so it soared upon the wind
among the damned and
Gm
dispossessed
G
And his song was for those
C
G
who were cast out by history
The banned and abandoned,
Bb
C
the spurned and ignored
G
Whose homes have been taken,
C
G
whose dreams have been broken
F
Who huddled on hillside's
C
Gm
Gsus4
demand to be heard
G
Gm
Though we resist oppression,
D
still our dream is peace
Theirs is the mask of hatred,
Gm
ours the human face
Then let not our sufferings
D
turn our souls to ice
So that we do to strangers
what was done to us
G
Gm
It is not with conquering armies I belong
Cm
F
Bb
Their bloody retribution I disown
Eb
Cm
Their songs of triumph I will never sing,
D
For the God they worship
turns them into stone.
If any teach their children
Gm
D
how to hate and hurt,
Though they are Jews
Gm
they do not live inside my heart.
G
And his song is for those
C
G
who are cast out by history,
The banned and abandoned,
Bb
C
the spurned and ignored,
G
Whose homes have been taken,
C
whose dreams have been broken,
G
F
Who huddled on hillsides,
C
G
demand to be heard.
D
Let his song be a spark,
G
let it fly through the dark like a bird.
