The Partisan  Leonard Cohen

Tuning: D G C F A D (standard, full step down)
Intro
[Am]  
When they p[C]oured acr[E/B]oss the b[Am]order
I was c[C]autioned t[E/B]o surr[Am]ender
Th[C]is I could not d[G]o
[F]I took my gun and v[C]anished[E/B] [Am]
I have changed my name so often
I've lost my wife and children
But I have many friends
And some of them are with me
An old woman gave us shelter
Kept us hidden in the garret
Then the soldiers came
She died without a whisper
There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
But I must go on
The frontiers are my prison
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we'll come from the shadows
Les Allemands etaient chez moi
Ils me dirent, "Signe toi"
Mais je n'ai pas peur
J'ai repris mon arme
J'ai change cent fois de nom
J'ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j'ai tant d'amis
J'ai la France entiere
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
Pour la nuit nous a cache
Les Allemands l'ont pris
Il est mort sans surprise
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we'll come from the shadows
