Delta Spirit - Ballad of Vitaly
for me the best song of the new album, true, moving story
Tuned down a half step

G C B7 Em
In the German sky there once was a plane
C G D/F# Em
It carries 71 children and their mothers to spain
D/F# G
Well this plane was sure something
B7 Em
It was full of young Russians
C G D/F# Em
Proudly to gander at topics discussin'
D/F# G B7 Em
Now Pete the Swiss was doublin' shifts
C G D/F# Em
Jugglin' the iron controlled by his lips
D C D/F# Em
Not a minute too soon children fell to their doom
C G D/F# Em
Struck dead in the air, orphan a father or two
D G C G
He just laid in the alley Now orphan Vitaly
C G C G
met a young girl married her quickly
C G C G
Was so damn in love that they had their two kids
C G C G
Had a great job; construction in Spain
C G C G
They were going to see Papa from Caucasus mountain range
C G C G
Now that damn Swissman crashed them into a plane
C G
I will find where he lives
C G C G
Speak to his face with the blood in my eyes
D/F# Em
He will see my pain
D G
Many weeks passed
D/F# Em
For fear of a suit
C G D/F# Em
The airline said nothin, Vitaly turned blue
D C
For the killing they done
B7 Em
No apology made
C G D/F# Em
Is it 'cause we are Russian you treat us this way
D G B7 Em
Through a friend that he new Vitaly found Pete
C G D/F# Em
He came to his doorstep expecting to speak
D C
But Pete blew him off
D/F# Em
Threw down the pictures Vi brought
C G D/F# Em
Pictures of the 3 most important he lost
D G /F# /E G
As the pictures fell down
D/F# Em
Re-enacting the day
C G D/F# Em
Vitaly's eye blackened no human remained
D G
Well so much can be said
C G
For a man in his shoes
C G D/F# Em
There's no glamour in vengeance There's only this rule:
D C D/F# Em
That the lives you lost can never come back
C G D/F# Em
And the deed in return is worse than the act
D C D Em
Blinded by love and the pain of his loss
C G D/F# Em
He could not remember the act of assault
D G D Em
He awoke in his room all covered in blood
C G D/F# Em
The cops they'd come knockin they knew what he'd done
D C D Em
The government leaned Vitaly was free
C G D/F# Em
They called him the hero, a man above kings
D C D Em
A shadow of man, they were praising his deed
C G
He was alone
C G
Killed a father of 3
C G C G
No deed that he did could make him complete
C G C G
It could have been different if only Pete said
C G C G
"I'm sorry for killin' the few joys you had"
C G C G
But now there's nothin' for Vitaly to do
C G C G
But step off a cliff or hang in the noose
C G C G
Robbed of forgiveness that he could'a gave
D/F# Em
There's no man left to save
Outro:
C G D/F# Em (repeat)
Later theres always this figure for Em and C
