Em                                     D 
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid 
Em                                       D 
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak 
Em                                    D 
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne 
Em                           D 
Got to get up for the coming attack 

Am                                   G 
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines 
Am                                            G 
Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste 
Am                                  G 
Gathering speed as we head down the runway 
Am                                  G 
Got to get airborne before it's too late 


Em                    C  C/B 
Running, scrambling, fire 
Em                         C    C/B 
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again 
Em                   C  C/B 
Running, scrambling, fire 
Em                 C     C/B 
Rolling, turning, diving

Em                                   D 
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers 
Em                                  D 
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away 
Em                                 D 
Roll over, spin round to come in behind them 
Em                                  D 
Move to their blindsides and firing again 

Am                             G 
Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us 
Am                      G 
Ten ME-109's out of the sun 
Am                                     G 
Ascending and turning our Spitfires to face them 
Am                                        G 
Heading straight for them I press down my guns 


Em                    C  C/B 
Running, scrambling, fire 
Em                         C  C/B 
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again 
Em                    C  C/B 
Running, scrambling, fire 
Em                 C  C/B 
Rolling, turning, diving 


Em   C    D 
Run, live to 
Em   C   D 
fly, fly to 
Em    C  D 
live, do or 
Em   C     D 
die, Won't you 
G    Eb   F 
run, live to 
G    Eb  F 
fly, fly to 
G     Eb F 
live, A--ces 
G    Eb  F 
high!
