| Am             | Am             | Am             | Am             |

[Verse 1]
   Am            Am             C**              G**      C
We shed our skin   every spring   and still they track us down.
Am                    Am                  C**          G**        C
  And it's the way of minstrels and kings   to let the lower dogs howl.

[Interlude]
| Am             | Am* Am* Am*    |

[Chorus]
         Am                 Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
But they got us on the run, Mann für Mann,
C                                 G
first they're gonna split you up, catch you and then tear you up.
       Am                  Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
It's a whole world undone, Mann für Mann,
C                                  G
follow me, we're gonna bleed, just brace yourself
                        Am        Am        Am        Am
when they get us one by one.

[Verse 2]
     Am               Am                       C**    G**     C
What heights we roam,   what heights we leave,   this home of lions?
Am                Am                      C**       G**    C
  It is our oath:   what heights we seek,   all the secret signs.

[Interlude]
| Am             | Am* Am* Am*    |

[Chorus]
         Am                 Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
But they got us on the run, Mann für Mann,
C                                 G
first they're gonna split you up, catch you and then tear you up.
       Am                  Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
It's a whole world undone, Mann für Mann,
C                                  G
follow me, we're gonna bleed, just brace yourself
                       (Am)
when they get us one by one.

[Chorus]
Am  Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
    Mann für Mann,
C                                 G
first they're gonna split you up, catch you and then tear you up.
       Am                  Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
It's a whole world undone, Mann für Mann,
C                                  G
follow me, we're gonna bleed, just brace yourself
                       (Am)
when they get us one by one.

[Interlude] (Banjo)
| Am             | Am             | Am             | Am             |
| Am             | Am             | C*     G*      | C              |
| Am             | Am             | C*     G*      | C              |

[Chorus]
         Am                 Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
Oh, they got us on the run, Mann für Mann,
C                                 G
first they're gonna split you up, catch you and then tear you up.
       Am                  Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
It's a whole world undone, Mann für Mann,
C                                  G
follow me, we're gonna bleed, just brace yourself
                       (Am)
when they get us one by one.

[End-Chorus]
Am  Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
    Mann für Mann,
C                                 G
first they're gonna split you up, catch you and then tear you up.
       Am                  Am*  Am* Am*   N.C.
It's a whole world undone, Mann für Mann,
C                                  G
follow me, we're gonna bleed, just brace yourself
                        Am*
when they get us one by one.
