Dmaj                                         F                    G
Goering's on the phone to Freiburg he says Willie's done quite a job
Dmaj                                       F                     G 
Hitler's on the phone from Berlin he says I'm gonna make you a star
Emaj                              G
My Captain von Odine heres your next patrol
Emaj                            G 
A flight of English bombers across the can*l
Emaj                        G         A
After twelve theyll all be here I think you know the job

(play this staccato twice:  A A B D A B A A B)

(then staccato with the vocals)
A         B     B / D /  A   A    B   
They hung there dependant from the sky
A          D          A / B
Like some heavy metal fruit
A      A / B   B    D / A    B
These bombers are ripened ready to tilt
Gb
Must these Englishmen live that I might die must they live that I might die

(Dmaj power chord x 2)
 
Dmaj                            
In a G-load disaster from the rate of climb 
F                           G
sometimes Id faint and be lost to our side
Dmaj                                             F 
But theres no reward for failure but death so watch me in the mirror 
G
Keep in the glidepath 
Emaj                        G                Emaj   
Get me through these radars no I cannot fail not when silver slugs are
G
eager to feed
Emaj                 G         A
I cannot fail no not now when twenty five bombers wait ripe

(again staccato with the vocals)
A         B     B / D /  A   A    B   
They hung there dependant from the sky
A          D          A / B
Like some heavy metal fruit
A      A / B   B    D / A    B
These bombers are ripened ready to tilt
Gb
Must these Englishmen live that I might die must they live that I might die

(Dmaj power chord x 2)

Dmaj                        F           G                   
Me-262 prince of turbojet Junkers jumo 004
Dmaj                  
Blasts from clustered R4M quartets in my snout and
F                            G
See these English planes go burn
Emaj                       G 
Now you be my witness how red were the skies
Emaj                              G               
When the fortresses flow for the very last time
Emaj                     G      A 
It was dark over Westphalia in april of '45

Like some heavy metal fruit
A      A / B   B    D / A    B
These bombers are ripened ready to tilt
