Intro: Dm A Dm
   Dm
In many a time, in many a land

      F             A
With many a gun in many a hand

      Dm
They came by the night, they came by the day

 F                       A
Came with their guns to take us away

        Dm                 Gm           Dm
With a knock on the door, knock on the door

                   A                  Dm  Dsus2  Dm
Here they come to take one more, one more

   Dm   
Back in the days of the Roman Empire

      F                          A
They died by the cross and they died by the fire

      Dm
In the stone coliseum, the crowd gave a roar

     F                       A
And it all began with that knock on the door

        Dm                 Gm           Dm
Just a knock on the door, knock on the door.

                   A                  Dm  Dsus2  Dm
Here they come to take one more, one more

Dm  
The years have all passed, we've reached modern times

      F                          A
The Nazis have come with their Nazi war crimes

   Dm  
Yes, the power was there, the power was found

      F                    A
Six million people have heard that same sound

          Dm                 Gm           Dm
That old knock on the door, knock on the door

                   A                  Dm  Dsus2  Dm
Here they come to take one more, one more

   Dm  
Now there's many new words and many new names

      F                           A
The banners have changed but the knock is the same

   Dm  
On the Soviet shores with right on their side

      F                 A
I wonder who knows how many have died

            Dm                 Gm           Dm
With their knock on the door, knock on the door

                   A                  Dm  Dsus2  Dm
Here they come to take one more, one more

   Dm  
Look over the oceans, look over the lands

      F                         A
Look over the leaders with the blood on their hands

   Dm  
And open your eyes and see what they do

      F                                     A
When they knock over their friend, they're knocking for you

            Dm                 Gm           Dm
With their knock on the door, knock on the door

                   A                                      
Here they come to take one more

            Dm                 Gm           Dm
With their knock on the door, knock on the door

                   A                Dm  Dsus2  Dm
Here they come to take one more, one more
