[Verse 1]
F#m
So silent before the storm
Awaiting command
Bm
A few has been chosen to stand

As one outnumbered by far

The orders from high command
Fight back, hold your ground!
Bm
In early September it came
A C#sus4
A war unknown to the world
[Bridge]
A E
No army may enter that land
F#m D A/C# E
That is protected by Polish hand
A E
Unless you are forty to one
D C#sus4 C#
Your force will soon be undone undone
[Chorus]

Baptised in fire
A E
Forty to One

Spirit of spartans

Death and glo_ry
Soldiers of Poland

Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
[Verse 2]
F#m
The Eighth of September it starts
The rage of the Reich
Bm
A barrage of mortars and guns
A C#sus4
Stand fast, the bunkers will hold
F#m
The captain has pledged his life
I'll face my fate here!
Bm
The sound of artillery strike
A
So fierce
C#sus4
The thunder of guns
[Bridge]

So come, bring on all that you've got

Come hell, come high water, never stop

Unless you are Forty to One
