D F#m
Where to now?
D F#m
Where can I go now?
Em7
Not to the Club
A7
Not to pay calls
D F#m
Mankind seems so pitiful
D F#m
So poor
Em7/G Em7
Compared to that softened, grateful, last glance
A7 D Gm6/D D
She gave me through her tears
[Ensemble]
Bm G
It was clear and cold
Em9
Above the dirty streets
Gmaj7
Above the black roofs
A7 F#7
Stretched the dark starry sky
[Pierre]
Bm
This vast firmament
Bm/A Gmaj7 G
Open to my eyes
A A7
Wet with tears
[Ensemble]
D F#m
And there in the middle
D F#m
Above Prechistensky Boulevard
Em7/G B7/F# Em
Surrounded and sprinkled on all sides by stars
G#dim7
Shines the Great Comet of 1812
N.C D
The Brilliant Comet of 1812
[Pierre]
Daug D6
The comet said to portend
Daug
Untold horrors
D
And the end of the world
Gm6
But for me
D/F#
The comet brings no fear
Em7 D D7
No, I gaze joyfully
G F#7
And this bright star
Bm D7
Having traced its parabola
G D/F#
With inexpressible speed
Em7 D
Through immeasurable space
Gm C7
Seems suddenly to have stopped
D Gm7/D D Em7
Like an arrow piercing the earth
A7
Stopped for me
D F#m
It seems to me
D F#m
That this comet feels me
Em7 B7/F# Em
Feels my softened and uplifted soul
A7
And my newly melted heart now blossoming
D
Into a new life
