[Verse 1]
D        Em/D     G/D           
  Victor was born,    the Spring
     A/D
 of ‘44
D           Em/D  G/D           
  And never saw      his father 
A/D
anymore
D/C          G/B       Dsus/A   
  A child of sacrifice,     a 
       E7/G#
child of war
D/A        Bbdim         Bm     
  Another son who never had a 
G      A        D
father after Leningrad


[Verse 2]
(D)      Em/D      G/D          
Went off to school    and 
     A/D
learned to serve the state
D              Em/D  G/D        
  Followed the rules     and 
       A/D
drank his vodka straight
D/C        G/B        Dsus/A    
  The only way to live      was 
           E7/G#
drown the hate
D/A          Bbdim           Bm 
  A Russian life was very sad, 
          Em     A     D
and such was life in Leningrad

[Bridge 1]
Dm                     Asus      
  I was born in ‘49, a cold war 
        Am
kid in McCarthy time
Gsus                 G         
Stop ‘em at the 38th parallel, 
Asus               A
blast those yellow reds to hell
Dsus               Dm            
Cold war kids were hard to kill, 
Asus                    Am
under their desks in an air raid 
drill
Gsus                  G           
Haven’t they heard we won the war,
 Asus                 A           
 what do they keep on fighting 
   A7
for?


[Verse 3]
D        Em/D     G/D            
  Victor was sent    to some red 
A/D
army town
D                Em/D  G/D       
  Served out his time,    became 
 A/D
a circus clown
D/C            G/B      Dsus/A  
  The greatest happiness     he 
      E7/G#
ever found
D/A          Bbdim              
  Was making Russian children 
Bm          G          A
glad, and children lived in 
    D
Leningrad


[Bridge 2]
Dm                                 
  Children lived in Levittown, and 
Asus                Am
hid in the shelters underground
         Gsus                 G   
'Til the Soviets turned their 
         Asus                A
ships around, and tore the Cuban 
missiles down
    Dsus             Dm            
And in that bright October sun, we 
Asus               Am
knew our childhood days were done
    Gsus                 G        
And I watched my friends go off to
      Asus                 A
 war, what do they keep on fighting 
for?


[Verse 4]
D        Em/D         G/D   A/D
  And so my child and I came to this
 place
D            Em/D    G/D    A/D
  To meet him eye to eye and face to
 face
D/C          G/B            
  He made my daughter laugh,
Dsus/A          E7/G#
     then we embraced
D/A          Bbdim               
  We never knew what friends we 
Bm        G      A   D          E
had, until we came to Leningrad
