Bella Ciao Goodbye Beautiful

Tom: Dm

Dm
One fine morning I woke up early
                              Dm7
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao
         Gm                Dm
One fine morning I woke up early
            A       Bb    Dm
To find the fascist at my door

[Verse 2]
Dm
Oh, partigiano, please take me with you
                                Dm7
Bella ciao, bella ciao, goodbye beautiful
         Gm                    Dm
Oh, partigiano, please take me with you
        A      Bb Dm
I'm not afraid anymore

[Verse 3]
Dm
And if I die, oh, partigiano
                                Dm7
Bella ciao, bella ciao, goodbye beautiful
     Gm           Dm
Bury me upon that mountain
            A      Bb     Dm
Beneath the shadow of the flower

[Verse 4]
Dm
Show all the people, the people passing
                                Dm7
Bella ciao, bella ciao, goodbye beautiful
             Gm                 Dm
Show all the people, the people passing
                     A     Bb  Dm
And say, "oh, what a beautiful flower"

[Verse 5]
Dm
This is the flower of the partisan
                              Dm7
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao
            Gm                 Dm
This is the flower of the partisan
    A    Bb      Dm
Who died for freedom
            Gm                 Dm
This is the flower of the partisan
    A    Bb      Dm
Who died for freedom
