Chorus 1
(D minor) I was born in '49
A (Asus4) cold war kid in the Mc (A minor) Carthy times
(Gsus4) Stop 'em at the 38th (G major) parallel
(Asus4) Blast those yellow (A major) reds to hell
(Dsus4) Cold war kids were (D minor) hard to kill

(Gsus4) Haven't they heard we (G major) won the war
(Asus4) What do they keep on (A major) fighting for?

(D major) Victor (E minor/D) was sent
To some red army (A/D) town
(D major) Served out his (E minor/D) time
Become a (A/D) circus clown
(D/C) The greatest (G/B) happiness
(D/A) He'd ever found (E7/Ab)

When children (G major) lived (A major) in Lenin (D major) grad

(D minor) The children lived in Levittown
(Asus4) Hid in the shelters underground (A minor)
Til the (Gsus4) soviets turned their (G major) ships around

And (Dsus4) in that bright Oc (D minor) tober sun

(Asus4) What do they keep on (A major) fighting for?
