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?
