[Verse 1]
[C]Vic[Dm]tor was born
The spring of [G]'44
[C]And never saw[Dm]
His father [G]anymore
[C]The child of sac[F]rifice
[G]Child of war[D]
[C]Another son[E] who never had[Am]
A father [F]after [G]Leningra[C]d
Went [Dm]off to school
And learned to [G]serve his [C]state
Follow the [Dm]rules
And drank his [G]vodka [C]straight
The only [F]way to live
[G]Was drown the hat[D]e
[C]The Russian lif[E]e was very sad[Am]
And such was [F]life [G]in Lenin[C]grad

[Chorus 1]
[Cm]I was born in '49
A [Gm]cold war kid in the McCarthy times
[F]Stop 'em at the 38th parallel
[G]Blast those yellow reds to hell
[Cm]Cold war kids were hard to kill
[Gm]Under their desks in an air raid drill
[F]Haven't they heard we won the war
[G]What do they keep on fighting for?

[Verse 2]
[C]Vic[Dm]tor was sent
To some red [G]army town
[C]Served out his tim[Dm]e
Become [G]a circus clown
[C]The greatest hap[F]piness
[G]He'd ever fou[D]nd
[C]Was making Rus[E]sian children gla[Am]d
When children [F]lived [G]in Lenin[C]grad

[Chorus 2]
[Cm]The children lived in Levittown
[Gm]Hid in the shelters underground
Til the [F]soviets turned their ships around
[G]Torn the Cuban missiles down
And [Cm]in that bright October sun
We [Gm]knew our childhood days were done
And [F]I watched my friends go off to war
[G]What do they keep on fighting for?

[Verse 3]
[C]So my [Dm]child and I came[G] to this place
[C]To meet him[Dm] eye to eye and[G] face to face
[C]He made my [F]daughter laugh
[G]Then we embra[D]ced
[C]We never kne[E]w what friends we had[Am]
Until [F]we [G]came to [C]Leningrad
