[Intro]
G
We didn't know at all;
C G
We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame
A D7
What could we do?
G
It was a terrible shame,
C
But we can't bear the blame.
G C D7 G
Oh no, not us, we didn't know.
[Verse]
G C
"We didn't know", said the burgermeister,
G D7 G
"About those camps on the edge of town.
C
It was Hitler and his crew,
G D7 G
That tore the German nation down.
Em
We saw the cattle cars, it's true;
G D7 G
Maybe they carried a Jew or two.
Em
They woke us up as they rattled through,
G D7 G
But what did you expect me to do?"
[Chorus]
G
We didn't know at all;
C G
We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame
A D7
What could we do?
G
It was a terrible shame,
C
But we can't bear the blame.
G C D7 G
Oh no, not us, we didn't know.
[Verse]
G C
"We didn't know", said the congregation,
G D7 G
Singing a hymn in a church of white.
C
"The Press was full of lies about us,
G D7 G
Preacher told us we were right.
Em
The outside agitators came;
G D7 G
They burned some churches and put the blame
Em
On decent southern people's names,
G D7 G
To set our colored people aflame.
Em
And maybe some of our boys got hot,
G D7 G
And a couple of niggers and reds got shot,
Em
They should have stayed where they belong -
G
The preacher would've told us
D7 G
if we'd done wrong."
[Chorus]
G
We didn't know at all;
C G
We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame
A D7
What could we do?
G
It was a terrible shame,
C
But we can't bear the blame.
G C D7 G
Oh no, not us, we didn't know.
[Verse]
G C
"We didn't know", said the puzzled voter,
G D7 G
Watching the President on TV.
C
"I guess we've got to drop those bombs,
G D7 G
If we're gonna keep South Asia free.
Em
The President's such a peaceful man,
G D7 G
I guess he's got some kind of plan.
Em
They say we're torturing prisoners of war,
G D7 G
But I don't believe that stuff no more.
Em
Torturing prisoners is a communist game,
G D7 G
And You can bet they're doing the same.
Em
I wish this war was over and through,
G D7 G
But what do you expect me to do?"
[Chorus]
G
We didn't know at all;
C G
We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame
A D7
What could we do?
G
It was a terrible shame,
C
But we can't bear the blame.
G C D7 G
Oh no, not us, we didn't know.
