Billy Joel - Leningrad CHORDS by Bofjas
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key D
Works for piano/guitar, though guitarplayers
would heavily rely on a bass player.
For those who don't know, "C/G" means you play
a "C", but the bass goes on a "G". So if you wanna
play this alone on one guitar, you will have to
change the chord or your strumming so that the
lowest of the strings in motion will represent
the bass (i.t.c "G")
For example:
To play "C/G" you would play a normal open C, but
but hit the low E string on the 3rd fret with you pinky.
(Low E 3rd fret = G) so EAGDBe becomes 3x2010.

Intro chords (Piano Only, but works for guitar too)
(It's a little hard to tell you where to change chords
you'll have to figure out that yourself)
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
Viktor was born in the spring of ´44
And never saw his father anymore
A child of sacrifice, a child of war
Another son who never had a father after Leningrad
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
Went off to school and learned to serve the state
Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight
The only way to live was drown the hate
A Russian life was very sad
And such was life in Leningrad
I was born in ´49
A cold war kid in McCarthy time
Stop ´em at the 38th Parallel
Blast those yellow reds to hell
And cold war kids were hard to kill
Under their desk in an air raid drill
Haven´t they heard we won the war
What do they keep on fighting for?
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
Viktor was sent to some Red Army town
Served out his time, became a circus clown
The greatest happiness he´d ever found
Was making Russian children glad
And children lived in Leningrad
But children lived in Levittown
And hid in the shelters underground
Until the Soviets turned their ships around
And tore the Cuban missiles down
And in that bright October sun
We knew our childhood days were done
And I watched my friends go off to war
What do they keep on fighting for?
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
And so my child and I came to this place
To meet him eye to eye and face to face
He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced
We never knew what friends we had
Until we came to Leningrad
