Snoopy vs The Red Baron (1966) (midi)

(spoken : ) Achtung ! Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte

uber dem schweinkomischen Hund und dem lieben Red Baron !

D G

1. After the turn of the century

D A

in the clear blue skies over Germany,

D G

came a roar and a thunder men had never heard,

A D

like the scream and the sound of a big war bird.

D G

2. Up in the sky, a man in a plane

D A

Baron von Richthofen was his name.

D G

Eighty men tried, and eighty men died,

A D

now they're buried together on the countryside.

D G

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more,

D A

the Bloody Red Baron was rollin' out the score.

D G

Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree

A D

of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany.

D G

3. In the nick of time, a hero arose,

D A

a funny-looking dog with a big black nose.

D G

He flew into the sky to seek revenge,

A D

but the Baron shot him down, curses, “Foiled again!"

D G

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more,

D A

the Bloody Red Baron was rollin' out the score.

D G

Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree

A D

of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany.

D G

4. Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man,

D A

so he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan.

D G

He challenged the German to a real dogfight,

A D

while the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight.

D G

5. That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix,

D A

he'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks.

D G

Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice,

A D

and that Bloody Red Baron was spinning out of sight.
