Intro:

G

Verse 1:

G                     C
 After the turn of the century,
       G                    D7
In the clear blue skies over Germany.
       G                         C
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard,
         D7                  G
Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird.

G                C
 Up in the sky, a man in a plane,
G                     D7
 Baron von Richthoven, was his name.
G                    C
 Eighty men tried and eighty men died,
            D7                    G
Now they're buried together on the country side.

Chorus 1:

G                           C
 Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and more,
    G                   D7
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score.
G                         C
 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,
       D7                 G
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Verse 2:

       G              C
In the nick of time, a hero arose,
  G                        D7
A funny lookin' dog, with a big black nose.
   G                   C
He flew into the sky to seek revenge,
        D7                           G
But the Baron shot him down; "Curses!  Foiled again!"

Chorus 2:

G                           C
 Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and more,
    G                   D7
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score.
G                         C
 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,
       D7                 G
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Verse 3:

    G#                   C#
Now Snoopy'd swore that he'd get that man,
      G#                             D#7
So he asked the great pumpkin for a new battle plan.
   G#                          C#
He challenged the German to a real dog fight,
          D#7                     G#
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight.

Verse 4:

    A                   D
The bloody Red Baron was in a fix;
   A                         E7
He tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks.
A                          D
 Snoopy fired once, then he  fired twice,
        E7                  A
And the bloody Red Baron was spinnin' out of sight.

Chorus 3:

A                           D
 Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and more,
    A                   E7
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score.
A                         D
 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,
       E7                 A
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany. Well...

Chorus 4:

A                           D
 Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and more,
    A                   E7
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score.
A                         D
 Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree,
       E7                 A
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany.
