G#
G#m
The story's
told of how in 1942
D#
Martin Fontache, poet,
G#m
carpenter and Jew
D#
With a band of partisans threw in his lot
Till he was taken by
the Germans to be shot
G#m
He was a peaceful man,
C#m
quick to laugh and cry
F#
At every village celebration he'd be there
B
E
With his songs they're told
of sadness and of joy
C#m
D#
And the guitar he carried
with him everywhere
G#m
But when the Nazis came and killed
his wife and son
Eb
Martin traded his guitar in for a gun
Abm
Ab
This song is for those
Db
Ab
who are cast out by history
B
The banned and abandoned,
Db
Ab
the spurned and ignored
Whose homes have been taken,
Db
Ab
whose dreams have been broken,
Gb
Who huddled on Hillside's demand
Db
Ab
Abm

to be heard.
G#
G#m
The German soldier
D#
assigned to kill the Jew ,
As it happened,
G#m
was a music lover too,
And this bond, it seems,
D#
is what made him decide
To offer Martin one last wish
G#m
before he died.
Soon my soul, Martin said,
C#m
will dance on air
F#
Now all I ask is time to write
my farewell song
B
E
The German soldier checked his watch
and said, one hour
C#m
D#
One hour, Martin remarked, that long
G#m
And so he wrote and sang full voice
to raise the dead
Eb
And then the German put
Abm
a bullet in his head
Ab
And this song is for those
Db
Ab
who were cast out by history,
B
Abandoned, abandoned,
Dbm
the spurned and ignored,
Ab
Whose homes have been taken,
whose dreams have been broken,
Gb
Who huddled on a health -size

demand to be heard.
Abm
The German kept the song,
Ab
Eb
abract of what he'd done,
And showed it proudly
when in drink to everyone
Abm
He couldn't read the words
Eb
and didn't seem to see
That a song cannot take root
G#m
unless it's free
And then one night,
D#
C#m
two parties and set out
F#
The song must be released,
E
They slipped into his quarters,
C#m
slit his throat
D#
Took back the song
and gave it wings to fly
And so it soared upon the wind
G#m
and came to rest
Eb
And found the home
among the damned and
Abm
dispossessed
Ab
And his song was for those
Db
Ab
who were cast out by history
The banned and abandoned,
B
Db
the spurned and ignored
Ab
Whose homes have been taken,
Db
Ab
whose dreams have been broken
Gb
Who huddled on hillside's
Db
G#m
G#sus4
demand to be heard
G#
G#m
Though we resist oppression,
Eb
still our dream is peace
Theirs is the mask of hatred,
Abm
ours the human face
Then let not our sufferings
Eb
turn our souls to ice
So that we do to strangers
what was done to us
Ab
Abm
It is not with conquering armies I belong
Dbm
Gb
B
Their bloody retribution I disown
E
Dbm
Their songs of triumph I will never sing,
Eb
For the God they worship
turns them into stone.
If any teach their children
G#m
D#
how to hate and hurt,
Though they are Jews
G#m
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,
B
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.
