[Verse]
F#mE
Do you remember when, when the Nazis forced their rule on Poland?
F#mDAE
1939 and the Allies turned away
F#mDE
From the underground rose the hope of freedom as a whisper
F#mADE
City in despair - but they never lost their faith
[Pre-chorus]
Bm
Women, men and children fight
AE
They were dying side by side
Bm
And the blood they shed upon the streets
C#
Was a sacrifice willingly paid
[Chorus]
F#m
Warsaw, city at war!
AE
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
F#mAE
1944, help that never came
F#m
Calling Warsaw, city at war!
AE
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
F#m
Rise up and hear the call
C#
History calling to you, Warszawo Walcz!
