Russians - Sting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Am     Am7/G FM7 
In Europe and America
          Dm                 E/G#   E
there's a growing feeling of histeria.
   Am              Am/G    FM7
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
           Dm                      E/G# E       
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
       Dm       E7                  Am
if the Russians love their children too.

    Am    G       FM7    Em
How can I save my little boy
     Am   G        FM7    Em
from Oppenheimer's deadly toy.
      Am      G         FM7    Em
There is no monopoly of common sense
   Am     G             FM7     Em 
on either side of the political fence.
   Am        G      FM7  Em  
We share the same biology,
  Am          G  FM7 Em
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.

STRUMMING
There is no strumming pattern for this song yet. Create and get +5 IQ
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
