Cm
The story's
told of how in 1942
G
With a band of partisans threw in his lot
Till he was taken by
the Germans to be shot
Cm
He was a peaceful man,
Fm
quick to laugh and cry
Bb
At every village celebration he'd be there
Eb
Ab
With his songs they're told
of sadness and of joy
Fm
G
And the guitar he carried
with him everywhere
Cm
But when the Nazis came and killed
his wife and son
G
Martin traded his guitar in for a gun
Cm
C
This song is for those
F
C
who are cast out by history
Eb
The banned and abandoned,
F
C
the spurned and ignored
Whose homes have been taken,
F
C
whose dreams have been broken,
Bb
Who huddled on Hillside's demand
F
C
Cm

to be heard.
C
Cm
The German soldier
G
assigned to kill the Jew,
As it happened,
Cm
was a music lover too,
And this bond, it seems,
To offer Martin one last wish
Soon my soul, Martin said,
Bb
Now all I ask is time to write
my farewell song
Eb
Ab
The German soldier checked his watch
and said, one hour
Fm
G
One hour, Martin remarked, that long
Cm
And so he wrote and sang full voice
to raise the dead
C
And this song is for those
F
C
who were cast out by history,
Fm
the spurned and ignored,
C
Whose homes have been taken,
whose dreams have been broken,
Bb
Who huddled on a health -size
F

C
demand to be heard.
Cm
The German kept the song,
C
G
abract of what he'd done,
And showed it proudly
when in drink to everyone
Cm
He couldn't read the words
That a song cannot take root
And then one night,
G
Fm
two parties and set out
Bb
The song must be released,
Ab
They slipped into his quarters,
and gave it wings to fly
And so it soared upon the wind
among the damned and
Cm
dispossessed
C
And his song was for those
F
C
who were cast out by history
The banned and abandoned,
Eb
F
the spurned and ignored
C
Whose homes have been taken,
F
C
whose dreams have been broken
Bb
Who huddled on hillside's
F
Cm

demand to be heard
C
Cm
Though we resist oppression,
Theirs is the mask of hatred,
Then let not our sufferings
So that we do to strangers
what was done to us
C
Cm
It is not with conquering armies I belong
Fm
Bb
Eb
Their bloody retribution I disown
Ab
Fm
Their songs of triumph I will never sing,
turns them into stone.
If any teach their children
Cm
G
how to hate and hurt,
Though they are Jews
Cm
they do not live inside my heart.
C
And his song is for those
F
C
who are cast out by history,
The banned and abandoned,
Eb
F
the spurned and ignored,
C
Whose homes have been taken,
F
whose dreams have been broken,
C
Bb
Who huddled on hillsides,
F
C
demand to be heard.
C
let it fly through the dark like a bird.
