1.      I never loved Eva Braun,

F                                                      C

    though a thousand people say I did.

    She was just some girl who was on the make,

F                                       G

    boy, she wanted to be so big.

E                                       F

    And in the end it got to be a drag,

Am                                         G

    she's doing her exercises every day

Am                                     E                 F      - G            C

2.     I never heard all the screams,

F                                              C                                       

    I never saw the blood and dirt and gore,

D                                        C

    that wasn't part of the dream,

F                                             G

    of maps and generals and uniforms.

E                                F

    I'd always like the big parade,

Am                              G

    I always wanted to be adored,

Am                       E                                    F       - G        

    in '33 I knew I had it made, but I never loved....

 

 

 

 

 

 

      C

    Eva Braun wasn't history,

              G

    she wasn't even part of my destiny.

             D

    She never really fitted in the scheme of things

      F                                        

    She was a triumph of my will.

F                                               C

    I saw the millions mouthing me,

D                                               C

    but underneath I was really gentle,

F                                              G

    d'ja ever see me touch a scrap of meat?

    they were weak and I was strong,
