It took a while, but now I see
F Bb C F
My old man worked for the K G B
Dm Am Dm
The government found out about
Gm C
His work and had to take him out
[Verse 1]
F F Bb F
It took a while but now I see
F Bb C F
Why dad was such a mystery
Dm Am Dm
Sometimes you cheat, sometimes you lie
Gm Dm
It's part of the job when you're
C C C F F Bb F F Bb C F
When you're a spy
[Chorus]
F F Bb F
It took a while but now I see
F Bb C F
My old man worked for the K G B
Dm Am Dm
The government found out about
Gm C
His work and had to take him out
[Verse 2]
F F Bb F
Sitting in the yard I didn't understand
F Bb F
Holding his dead body in my hands
Dm Am Dm
Now it's getting clear to me
Dm Dm C F F Bb C F F Bb C
My dad he worked for the K G B
[Verse 3]
F F Bb F
On the fourth of March in his backyard
F Bb C F
The sniper shot him in the heart
Dm Am
He was only fifty-three
Dm Gm Dm
But a hero for the K G B
Gm Dm
A hero for the K G B
Gm Dm C
And a hero - to me
F F
La la la, la la la,
Bb C F F Bb C
La la la, la la la la.
