Knock on the Door
Intro: Dm A Dm
In Dmmany a time, in many a land
With mFany a gun in mAany a hand
They cDmame by the night, they came by the day
CFame with their guns to tAake us away
With a kDmnock on the door, kGmnock on the dDmoor
Here they come to tAake one more, one mDmore Dsus2 Dm
BacDmk in the days of the Roman Empire
They dFied by the cross and they dAied by the fire
In theDm stone coliseum, the crowd gave a roar
And iFt all began with that knAock on the door
Just a kDmnock on the door, kGmnock on the dDmoor.
Here they come to tAake one more, one mDmore Dsus2 Dm
DmThe years have all passed, we've reached modern times
The NaFzis have come with their NaAzi war crimes
YesDm, the power was there, the power was found
Six miFllion people have heaArd that same sound
That old kDmnock on the door, kGmnock on the dDmoor
Here they come to tAake one more, one mDmore Dsus2 Dm
NowDm there's many new words and many new names
The baFnners have changed but the kAnock is the same
On Dmthe Soviet shores with right on their side
I wondFer who knows how mAany have died
With their kDmnock on the door, kGmnock on the dDmoor
Here they come to tAake one more, one mDmore Dsus2 Dm
LooDmk over the oceans, look over the lands
Look oFver the leaders with the bAlood on their hands
AndDm open your eyes and see what they do
When tFhey knock over their friend, they're kAnocking for you
With their kDmnock on the door, kGmnock on the dDmoor
Here they come to tAake one more
With their kDmnock on the door, kGmnock on the dDmoor
Here they come to tAake one more, oneDm morDsus2e Dm
