There's a Russian ship out lost at sea in changing Times

And look now, there's a story
Am D
That in Kiev they were tearing down statues
Chorus:
G Bm
Tzaralena where's our world gone
C D
Tzaralena where's our home gone

Mother Russia's out there sinking

And the Western world is thinking
Em Am D
That we're better off than what we were
G Bm
And the Russian ship that's lost at sea is listing fast
Em C D
'cause the man who tried the changing winds, has burst its mast
G Bm
As I think about what's left and how it's come to this
Em C D
And the shame inside 'cause I denied the days I miss

And look, now look there's another book
Bm Em
And look now there's a person

Says he's Russian and he once defied Lenin
