Am F Am
Black triangle, pink triangle
F Am
Green triangle, red triangle
F Am
Blue triangle, lilac triangle
F G Am
And they wore the yellow triangle
C G Am
When first they came for the criminals I did not speak
F C G
Then they began to take the Jews
F C G Am
When they fetched the people who were members of trade unions
F-G Am
I did not speak
C G C G
When they took the Bible students, rounded up the homosexuals
F G Am
Then they gathered up the immigrants and the gypsies
Am
I did not speak, I did not speak
F C E7 F G Am
Eventually they came for me and there was no one left to speak
