Russians
Am Am7/G FM7

Dm E/G# E
there's a growing feeling of histeria.
Am Am/G FM7
Conditioned to respond to all the threats

in the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets.
C E/G# E
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you,
Am E/G# E
I don't subscribe to this point of view.
Am Am/G FM7
It would be such an ignorant thing to do

if the Russians love their children too.
Am G FM7 Em
How can I save my little boy

regardless of ideology.
Am G FM7 Em
Believe me when I say to you,
Am G FM7 Em Am
I hope the Russians love their children too.
There is no historical precedent,
to put the words in the mouth of the president.
There's no such thing as a winnable war,
it's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view.
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russian love their children too.
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology.
What might save us me and you,
is that the Russians love their children too.

version 2
Notes before you play:
1. This song is more easily played 3 semitones lower (or with capo 3) - the key of Am
2. I wrote "Soviets" stretched out with hyphens ("So-vi-ets"). That is for the chords to fit over
the correct syllables
3. Originally, it is played on the organ, so I advise you to use a keyboard
4. Do not play the song by strumming, it will not sound right. Instead, do this:
(1) If you are playing a keyboard, hit the bass notes on the first beat (where the chord is
written), and the righthand chord on the third (halfway to the next chord)
(2) If you are playing a guitar, pluck the bass on the first beat (where the chord is written),
and pluck the rest of the chord on the third beat (halfway to the next chord)
Key of Cm (with passages in C melodic minor), standard tuning, no capo necessary
