[Verso 1]


C 
Mother dear, I'm writing you from somewhere in France, 
G7                    C 
Hoping this finds you well. 
C 
Sergeant says I'm doing fine, a soldier and a half, 
D7                                 G          G7 
Here's a song that we'll all sing, it'll make laugh! 



[Refrão]

            C 
We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line 
                                   G7 
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear 

We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line 
                    C 
‘Cos washing day is here 
C7                         F 
Whether the weather may be wet or fine 
      D7                  G    G7 
We’ll rub along without a care 
            C                           A 
We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line 
       F         G7           C 
If the Siegfried Line’s still there! 



[Verso 2]

C 
Everybody's mucking in and doing their job, 
G7                  C 
Wearing a great big smile. 
C 
Everybody's got to keep their spirit up today, 
D7 
if you want to keep in swing, 
G                G7 
Here's a song to sing; 



[Refrão]

            C 
We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line 
                                   G7 
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear 

We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line 
                    C 
‘Cos washing day is here 
C7                         F 
Whether the weather may be wet or fine 
      D7                  G    G7 
We’ll rub along without a care 
            C                           A 
We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line 
       F         G7           C      G7    C 
If the Siegfried Line’s still there!
