[Refrain]
        D                                    G          D  A
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
        D                                    G          A  D
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
        D                                    G          D  A
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
        D                                    G          A  D
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere


[Verse 1]
      D                     G
We're taught that after the war
          D                  A
the nazis vanished without a trace
      D           G
but batallions of fascists
      A                 D
still dream of a master race
    D                  G
The history books they tell of
        D         A
their defeat in '45
             D                   G
why did they all come out of the woodwork
       A            D
on the day the nazi died


[Verse 2]
             D           G
They say the prisoner of Spandau
      D           A
was a symbol of defeat
       D               G
whilst Hess remained imprisoned
         A                  D
then the fascists they were beat
       D             G                 D             A
so the promise of an aryan world would never materialize
                D                   G
so why did they all come out of the woodwork
       A            D
on the day the nazi died


[Refrain]
        D                                    G          D  A
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
        D                                    G          A  D
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
        D                                    G          D  A
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
        D                                    G          A  D
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere


[Verse 3]
    D                     G
the world is riddled with maggots
    D                   A
the maggots are getting fat
        D              G
they're making a tasty meal
           A               D
of all the bosses and bureacrats
        D               G
they're taking over the board rooms
            D               A
and they're fat and full of pride
         D                   G
and they all came out of the woodwork
       A            D
on the day the nazi died


[Verse 4]
          D                  G
so if you meet with these historians
     D                A
I'll tell you what to say
D                  G           A            D
tell them that the nazis never really went away
        D                 G
they're out there burning houses down
    D               A
and peddling racist lies
          D           G
and we'll never rest again
      A          D
until every nazi dies
