Verse 1:

F#                     B
 After the turn of the century,
       F#                    C#7
In the clear blue skies over Germany.
       F#                         B
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard,
         C#7                  F#
Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird.

F#                B
 Up in the sky, a man in a plane,
F#                     C#7
 Baron von Richthoven, was his name.
F#                    B
 Eighty men tried and eighty men died,
            C#7                    F#
Now they're buried together on the country side.

Chorus 1:

F#                           B
 Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and more,
    F#                   C#7
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score.
F#                         B
 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,
       C#7                 F#
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Verse 2:

       F#              B
In the nick of time, a hero arose,
  F#                        C#7
A funny lookin' dog, with a big black nose.
   F#                   B
He flew into the sky to seek revenge,
        C#7                           F#
But the Baron shot him down; "Curses!  Foiled again!"

Chorus 2:

F#                           B
 Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and more,
    F#                   C#7
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score.
F#                         B
 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,
       C#7                 F#
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Verse 3:

    G                   C
Now Snoopy'd swore that he'd get that man,
      G                             D7
So he asked the great pumpkin for a new battle plan.
   G                          C
He challenged the German to a real dog fight,
          D7                     G
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight.

Verse 4:

    Ab                   C#
The bloody Red Baron was in a fix;
   Ab                         Eb7
He tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks.
Ab                          C#
 Snoopy fired once, then he  fired twice,
        Eb7                  Ab
And the bloody Red Baron was spinnin' out of sight.

 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,

Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany. Well...

The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score.
Ab                         C#
 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,
       Eb7                 Ab
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany.
