Russian Ship - The Frank And Walters
Intro: G, Bm, Em, C, D (twiddle and walk from chord to chord)
G Bm
There's a Russian ship out lost at sea in changing Times
Em C D
And there's a lonely tide that brings to mind the days gone by
G Bm
And the simple fact that leads me back is that no one cared
Em C D
There's a Russian ship out lost at sea and I feel scared
C G
And look now, look there's another book
Bm Em
And look now, there's a story
Am D
That in Kiev they were tearing down statues
Chorus:
G Bm
Tzaralena where's our world gone
C D
Tzaralena where's our home gone
G Bm
Mother Russia's out there sinking
C D
And the Western world is thinking
Em Am D
That we're better off than what we were
G Bm
And the Russian ship that's lost at sea is listing fast
Em C D
'cause the man who tried the changing winds, has burst its mast
G Bm
As I think about what's left and how it's come to this
Em C D
And the shame inside 'cause I denied the days I miss
C G
And look, now look there's another book
Bm Em
And look now there's a person
Am D
Says he's Russian and he once defied Lenin
G Bm
Tzaralena where's our world gone
C D
Tzaralena where's our home gone
G Bm
Mother Russia's out there sinking
C D
And the Western world is thinking
Em Am D
That we're better off than what we were
Am Am Am Am Am Am Am Am G G G G
Do you think we'll ever be happy here
G G G G Em Em Em Em
In a come what may
G G G G Am D
Do you think we'll ever be satisfied
G C D
Living life this way?
Chorus with Dsus2 to end
