Sting - Russians: chords

   Cm     A#  G#   A#
In Europe and America
           Fm      Gm        G#    A#
there's a growing feeling of hysteria.
   Cm             A#      G#        A#
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
           G/B     Cm             Gsus4 G
in the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets.
      D#       D#           G/B
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you,
  Cm                       G
I don't subscribe to this point of view.
            Cm          A#    G#      A#
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
        Fm                  Gm       Cm
if the Russians love their children too.

    Cm     A#      G#     A#
How can I save my little boy
     Fm   Gm       G#     A#
from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
      Cm       A#        G#     A#
There is no monopoly of common sense
   G/B     Cm          Gsus4      G
On either side of the political fence.

Chorus:
    D#        D#   G/B
We share the same biology,
  Cm             G
regardless of ideology.
  Cm        A#     G#     A#
Believe me when I say to you,
  Fm       Gm        G#         A#       Cm
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 Russians love their children too

Chorus
