B
Bm
The story's
told of how in 1942
F#
Martin Fontache, poet,
Bm
carpenter and Jew
F#
With a band of partisans threw in his lot
Till he was taken by
the Germans to be shot
Bm
He was a peaceful man,
Em
quick to laugh and cry
A
At every village celebration he'd be there
D
G
With his songs they're told
of sadness and of joy
Em
F#
And the guitar he carried
with him everywhere
Bm
But when the Nazis came and killed
his wife and son
F#
Martin traded his guitar in for a gun
Bm
B
This song is for those
E
B
who are cast out by history
D
The banned and abandoned,
E
B
the spurned and ignored
Whose homes have been taken,
E
B
whose dreams have been broken,
A
Who huddled on Hillside's demand
E
B
Bm
Bsus4
to be heard.
B
Bm
The German soldier
F#
assigned to kill the Jew ,
As it happened,
Bm
was a music lover too,
And this bond, it seems,
F#
is what made him decide
To offer Martin one last wish
Soon my soul, Martin said,
Em
will dance on air
A
Now all I ask is time to write
my farewell song
D
G
The German soldier checked his watch
and said, one hour
Em
F#
One hour, Martin remarked, that long
Bm
And so he wrote and sang full voice
to raise the dead
F#
And then the German put
Bm
a bullet in his head
B
And this song is for those
E
B
who were cast out by history,
D
Abandoned, abandoned,
Em
the spurned and ignored,
B
Whose homes have been taken,
whose dreams have been broken,
A
Who huddled on a health -size
E
B
Bm

B
demand to be heard.
Bm
The German kept the song,
B
F#
abract of what he'd done,
And showed it proudly
when in drink to everyone
Bm
He couldn't read the words
F#
and didn't seem to see
That a song cannot take root
And then one night,
F#
Em
two parties and set out
A
The song must be released,
G
They slipped into his quarters,
F#
Took back the song
and gave it wings to fly
And so it soared upon the wind
F#
And found the home
among the damned and
Bm
dispossessed
B
And his song was for those
E
B
who were cast out by history
The banned and abandoned,
D
E
the spurned and ignored
B
Whose homes have been taken,
E
B
whose dreams have been broken
A
Who huddled on hillside's
E
Bm
Bsus4
demand to be heard
B
Bm
Though we resist oppression,
F#
still our dream is peace
Theirs is the mask of hatred,
Bm
ours the human face
Then let not our sufferings
F#
turn our souls to ice
So that we do to strangers
what was done to us
B
Bm
It is not with conquering armies I belong
Em
A
D
Their bloody retribution I disown
G
Em
Their songs of triumph I will never sing,
F#
For the God they worship
turns them into stone.
If any teach their children
Bm
F#
how to hate and hurt,
Though they are Jews
Bm
they do not live inside my heart.
B
And his song is for those
E
B
who are cast out by history,
The banned and abandoned,
D
E
the spurned and ignored,
B
Whose homes have been taken,
E
whose dreams have been broken,
B
A
Who huddled on hillsides,
E
B
demand to be heard.
F#
Let his song be a spark,
B
let it fly through the dark like a bird.
