Tom: Am
Am E
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
F G E
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Am E
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Dm E
Facing their forces alone
Am G
Alone,
Am G
alone
[Verse 1]
Am
Sent from the skies jumped into the unknown
G
The march to Berlin has begun
Am
Spearhead the charge surrounded by foes
G
Eagles are leading the way
F C F Dm
France is still under enemy rule
F E
Push, axis retreat
Am
Thrown towards Arnhem a bitter defeat
G
They're stretched out just one bridge too far
Am
Turn of the tide, it's breaking away
G
Losing momentum, retreat
F Dm
Go to Bastogne, the crossroads must hold
F E
Stand, alone in the cold
[Chorus]
Am C
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Dm G E
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
F Dm
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Dm E
Facing their forces alone
Am G
Alone,
Am G
alone
[Verse 2]
Am
Dig your own foxholes or dig your own grave
G
The storm is about to begin
Am
The siege has begun, there's nowhere to run
G
Panzerkampfwagen emerge
F Dm
Tanks and mortars are shaking the ground
F E
Prey of man and machine
[Chorus]
Am C
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Dm G E
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
F Dm
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Dm E
Facing their forces alone
Am G
Alone,
Am G
alone!
[Bridge]
Am (down strokes 15x)
G Am G
Chill of the winter bite to the bone and Christmas is drawing near
F G
Soldiers are freezing, the death toll increasing
Am G
They're dying in their holes
Am G
There's no surrender, there's no retreat, the Wehrmacht is drawing near
F G E
There's no reinforcements, they're fighting all alone

[Verse 3]
Am
Sent from the skies ended up in Bastogne
G
As easy, as hard as they get
Am
Nazi command request and demand
G
Offer surrender, declined
F Dm
Nuts! The generals word echo clear
F E
Nuts! The Nazi's shall hear
[Chorus]
Am C
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground

Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding

Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne

Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
F Dm
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Dm E Am
Facing their forces alon
