lyrics and chords Snoopy Vs The Red Baron
Guitar chords by Marc Fahrbach. Written by Phil Gernhard & Dick Holler, Recorded first by The Royal Gardsmen in 1966
2/4 (Irish Rovers) (Capo on 1st fret)
(D)Eins, Zwei, Drei, Vier, Eins, Zwei, Drei, Vier (1,2,3,4, counted in German)
(D)After the turn of the (G)century
(D)In the clear blue skies over (A)Germany
(D)Came a roar and a thunder men (G)had never heard
(A)Like the scream and the sound of a (D)big war bird
Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside
CHORUS:
(D)Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, (G)fifty or more
The (D)Bloody Red Baron was (A)rollin' up the score
(D)Eighty men died tryin' to (G)end that spree
of the (A)Bloody Red Baron of (D)Germany
In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-looking dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down - "Curses, foiled again!"
Chorus
Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He challenged the German to a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight
Chorus
That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight
Chorus twice
