Chords for SABATON - No Bullets Fly (Animated Story Video)

It's December 20th, 1943, and in the freezing air, high above Germany,
2nd Lieutenant Charles Charlie Brown is at the controls of his B-17F, the old pub.
At 11.30,.3 approaching the target of the Focke-Wulf plant [Em] near Bremen, the pub [D] is rocked as four [E] explosions go off, right in front of the B-17. A cry [Em] comes across the intercom, [E] We're hit! In the plexiglass nose, a huge hole had been made, and icy cold wind was being [Em] blown inside, making freezing conditions for the crew. Engine 2 had been hit, [Gb] and co-pilot Spencer [Em] Pinky Luke let out an expletive, as [E] he noticed a [Em] huge hole in the right wing. Releasing their bombs over the factory, the [E] crew turned to the north, planning to head over the coast and turn west for home. [C] With one engine out, [D] and engine 4 now frotty, the [Ebm] pub started to fall [Em] back from the formation, with another [D] damaged plane. [G] Sam Blacky Blackford in the ball turret [B] watched as it disappeared into a cloud [G] bank. There was an orange [Ab] flash in the cloud. [Gm] Bandits! he [G] shouted, as five Bf 109s streaked from the cloud bank. Then another cry. [Gbm] Bandits! as eight Fw 190s were [Gb] spotted in formation ahead of the pub. Sergeant Bertrand Frenchy Coulombe in the turret [Cm] shot the 190 out of the sky. [Bb] The navigator, Al [Cm]-Dogh Sadik, took out the [Bb] second. Pinky reported that engine 3 [C] had been hit. That left just [B] one engine at full power. [E] The Bf 109s attacked the pub from behind, swarming [Em] all over, but due to the [B] cold wind running through the pub, [Am] most of the guns were frozen. [Em] In a turn now, the pub was [B] repeatedly hit, taking [Em] extreme damage, and killing the tail [Am] gunner. A shell [Em] penetrated and exploded near the [B] waist guns, injuring the crew and creating a [Em] huge hole. The oxygen supply [B] was taken out and the pub spun [C] towards the ground. With the crew [D] unconscious due to lack of [Ebm] oxygen, the Bf 117 fell [Em] for four miles. [D] Charlie started to come [Am] around and grabbed the [B] controls, pulling back as the plane continued to fall. 5,000 feet, 4,000 [E] feet, 3,000 feet, just [Em] moments from hitting the earth, the plane pulled up, almost [E] scraping the trees as it did.

_ [E] story was kept secret until 1986, when Brown started the search for the German pilot who had shown [C] mercy on that December day, all those years [D] ago. In 1990, Brown received a letter [E] from a man named Stigler, who was living in Canada. Stigler explained that he had been the [C] pilot of the German fighter who had escorted Ye Olde Pub. [D] This video is of their first meeting. [Em] Frans, what were your feelings when you [C] met again for the [D] first time? I [Em] was so happy that he met me, that I dropped him on [D] top of it. It was a [Em] visit. _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] The [Em] fact that he risked his life, [D] really, in many [Eb] ways, and I wrote [C] him in a letter, I said, if you made [D] a habit of feeling sorry for bomber [Eb] crews, flag up alongside them, I am [Em] sure that you were shot down many times. But it [D] was not only the audacity that [B] he came up to us, and then [Gb] recognizing the [B] threat, if someone had seen him and reported [Em] him, it could have been a [C] death sentence. [Em] Frans gifted Charlie a [Am] book, and inside the inscription [E] read, In 1940, I lost my [D] only brother as a night fighter. On the 20th of December, four days [Em] before Christmas, I had the chance to save a B-17 from her [Am] destruction. [D] A plane so badly damaged, [Em] it was a wonder that she was still flying. [D] The pilot, Charlie [Eb] Brown, is for me as [Em] precious as my brother was. Thanks, Charlie. Your [C] brother, Frans. [D] In [Em] 2008, within a few months of each other, the two firm friends went [D] on their final journey. Frans [B] Stiegler never [E] got the knight's cross, but as he always said, he got something better. _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _

[Em] _ _ _ [Am] Hi, my name is Yovita Tan [B] Stiegler. I would like to thank [Em] Sabaton and [E] your song, No Bullets Fly. Because of this, the [Em] story of my father will live on. See you on your next [A] concert tour. [G] Safe journey, gentlemen, and [C] again, thank you. _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
