Verse 1
Em                                     D
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid,
Em                                       D
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak.
Em                                    D
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne,
Em                           D
Got to get up for the coming attack.
Am                                   G
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines,
Am                                            G
Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste.
Am                                  G
Gathering speed as we head down the runway,
Am                                  G
Got to get airborne before it's too late.

Verse 2
Em                                   D
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers,
Em                                  D
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away.
Em                                 D
Roll over, spin round to come in behind them,
Em                                  D  
Move to their blindsides and firing again.
Am                             G
Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us,
Am                      G
Ten ME-109's out of the sun.
Am                                     G
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them,
Am                                        G
Heading straight for them I press down my guns.
