Intro: G5 , B5 , E5 , C5 , D5 (twiddle and walk from chord to chord)

G5                                         B5
There's a Russian ship out lost at sea in changing Times
              E5               C5                  D5
And there's a lonely tide that brings to mind the days gone by
G5                                              B5
And the simple fact that leads me back is that no one cared
          E5               C5               D5              
There's a Russian ship out lost at sea and I feel scared


C5                          G5                   
And look now, look there's another book
    B5                  E5
And look now, there's a story
        A5             D5                       
That in Kiev they were tearing down statues


Chorus:

G5         B5
Tzaralena where's our world gone
C5         D5
Tzaralena where's our home gone
G5               B5
Mother Russia's out there sinking
C5               D5
And the Western world is thinking
E5                A5               D5        
That we're better off than what we were


G5                                          B5
And the Russian ship that's lost at sea is listing fast
           E5                C5                   D5
'cause the man who tried the changing winds, has burst its mast
G5                                         B5      
As I think about what's left and how it's come to this
        E5                  C5            D5
And the shame inside 'cause I denied the days I miss


C5                          G5 
And look, now look there's another book
    B5                 E5
And look now there's a person
          A5             D5
Says he's Russian and he once defied Lenin



G5         B5 
Tzaralena where's our world gone
C5         D5
Tzaralena where's our home gone
G5               B5
Mother Russia's out there sinking
C5               D5
And the Western world is thinking
E5                A5               D5
That we're better off than what we were


A5 A5 A5 A5       A5 A5 A5 A5         G5 G5 G5 G5
           Do you think we'll ever be happy here
G5 G5 G5 G5            E5 E5 E5 E5        
In a come what may
       G5 G5 G5 G5             A5    D5      
Do you think we'll ever be satisfied
G5      C5         D5
Living life this way?


Biss with D5 to end
