A             G
My birthplace would be hard to find
F                   Bb
it changed so many times
        C            D
I'm not sure where it belongs
A                                  G
But they tell me the Baltic coast is full of amber
F                Bb
And the land was green
   C       D
Before the tanks came
A                  G
One day I learned just how it used to be
    F                         Bb          C       D
The devils' curse brought the whole world to it's knees

[Chorus]
            E        B         E
And it was "Hey you, keep your head down
 B        E            B          E
Don't you look around, please don't make a sound
G#              A                 G#                E
If they should find you now, The Man will shoot you down"

[Verse]
 A                     G           F
It's a mighty long way out of the darkness
             Bb     C       D
To where the sun is free to shine
          A                           G
Well, The truck came by and pulled us in the back
     F                 Bb      C               D
And left us where the railroad tracks cross the line
        A            G
and the border guide took us by the hand
      F                              Bb       C     D
And led us through the hole into the promised land beyond

[Bridge]
     E                 D
And I can hear him now Whispering soft and low
  E                              D
"When you get to the other side, just you run like hell"

[Double Chorus]
E        B         E
Hey you, keep your head down
B          E           B            E
Don't you look around, please don't make a sound
G#              A                 G#                  B
If they should find you now, The Man WOULD shoot you down"
E         B         E
"Hey you, keep your head down
B         E            B            E
Don't you look around, please don't make a sound
G#              A                 G#                  E
If they should find you now, The Man WILL shoot you down"

[Verse]
A                   G
I thought I Found a quiet place
 F                         C                  D
Where I could learn how to catch my childhood dreams
           A                         G
But on my left and to my right they keep on shouting
  F             Bb        C     D
While I'm just stuck here in between
          A                      G
Lord! I'm tired of running and I don't believe I can
 F                      Bb       C      D
I can hear them calling time and time again

[Chorus]
            E        B         E
And it's "Hey you, keep your head down
 B        E            B          E
Don't you look around, please don't make a sound
G#              A                 G#                E
If they should find you now, The Man will shoot you down"
