Am                                   E     
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
F                   G          E
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Am                          E
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Dm                  E
Facing their forces alone
Am    G
Alone, 
Am    G
alone

[Verse 1]
Am
Sent from the skies jumped into the unknown
G
The march to Berlin has begun
Am
Spearhead the charge surrounded by foes
G
Eagles are leading the way
F        C      F     Dm
France is still under enemy rule
F              E
Push, axis retreat

Am
Thrown towards Arnhem a bitter defeat
G
They're stretched out just one bridge too far
Am
Turn of the tide, it's breaking away
G
Losing momentum, retreat
F                   Dm
Go to Bastogne, the crossroads must hold
F                   E
Stand, alone in the cold

[Chorus]
Am                                   C     
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Dm                   G              E
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
F                              Dm
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Dm                  E
Facing their forces alone
Am    G
Alone, 
Am    G
alone

[Verse 2]
Am
Dig your own foxholes or dig your own grave
G
The storm is about to begin
Am
The siege has begun, there's nowhere to run
G
Panzerkampfwagen emerge
F                     Dm
Tanks and mortars are shaking the ground
F                  E
Prey of man and machine

[Chorus]
Am                                   C     
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Dm                   G              E
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
F                              Dm
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Dm                  E
Facing their forces alone
Am    G
Alone, 
Am    G
alone!

[Bridge]
Am (down strokes 15x)
G Am                                       G
  Chill of the winter bite to the bone and Christmas is drawing near
F                      G
Soldiers are freezing, the death toll increasing
Am                           G
They're dying in their holes
Am                                           G
There's no surrender, there's no retreat, the Wehrmacht is drawing near
F                                  G            E
There's no reinforcements, they're fighting all alone

[Verse 3]
Am
Sent from the skies ended up in Bastogne
G
As easy, as hard as they get
Am
Nazi command request and demand
G
Offer surrender, declined
F                  Dm
Nuts! The generals word echo clear
F                    E
Nuts! The Nazi's shall hear

[Chorus]
Am                                   C     
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground

Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
F                              Dm
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Dm                  E
Facing their forces alone
Am                                   C     
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Dm                   G              E
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
F                              Dm
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Dm                  E      Am
Facing their forces alon
