As recorded by Joan Baez (From the 1972 Album COME FROM THE SHADOWS) [Intro] Am [Verse 1]

Am
They poured across the borders

Am
We were cautioned to surrender

             G
This I could not do

F              C           Am
Into the hills I vanished

[Verse 2]

Am
No one ever asks me

Am
Who I am or where I'm going

                 G
But those of you who know

F               C           Am
You cover up my footprints

[Verse 3]

Am
I have changed my name so often

Am
I have lost my wife and children

                G
But I have many friends

F                    C        Am
And some of them are with me

[Verse 4]

Am
An old woman gave us shelter

Am
Kept us hidden in a garrett

                G
And then the soldiers came

F                C          Am
She died without a whisper

[Verse 5]

Am
There were three of us this morning

Am
And I'm the only one this ev'ning

                G
Still I must go on

F             C          Am
Frontiers are my prison

[Verse 6]

Am
Oh the winds, the winds are blowing

Am
Thru the graves the winds are blowing

             G
Freedom soon will come!

F               C                Am
Then we'll come from the shadow

[Outro]

Am
Anemoi ánemoi sfyrízoun

Am
Stous táfous ánemoi sfyrízoun

               G
Érhetai i lefteriá

   F              C  E    Am
Ki eméis mazí ap' ta skotádia
