(E major) just like (A minor) a beast

Verse 3
I seen (A minor) a woman,
stand (E minor) ing in the snow (C major) (D major)
She was silent (C major) as (D major) she watched
them (E major) take her (A minor) man
(E minor) Teardrops burned her (C major) cheeks
(D major) For she'd thought (C major) she'd heard
(D major) the shadow (E major) had left this (A minor) land
Verse 4
The old man's back (D major) again (F major)
The old (E major) (A minor) man's back again
Verse 5
The crowds (A minor) just gathered,
their (E minor) faces (C major) turned away (D major)
And they queue all day, (C major)
(D major) like dragon (E major) s of dis (A minor) gust
Older women (E minor) whis (C major) pering
(D major) Wondering just (C major) what these young
(D major) hot-heads want (E major) want (A minor) of us
And Andrei V. he cries,
with eye (E minor) s that ring (C major) like chimes (D major)
His anti- (C major) worlds go (D major) go spinning
(C major) through his (A minor) head
He burn (E minor) s them in his (C major) dreams
(D major) For half-awake,
they (C major) (D major) they may as (E major) well be (A minor) dead
Verse 6
The old man's (D major) back again (F major)
I (E minor) see he's back (A minor) again
Verse 7
I (A minor) see a soldier,
he's stand (E minor) ing in the (C major) rain (D major)
For him (C major) there's no old (D major) man
(E major) to walk (A minor) behind
(E minor) Devoured by (C major) his pain (D major)
Bewildered (C major) by the faces (D major)
(E major) who pass (A minor) him by
(E minor) He'd like another (C major) name,
(D major) the one (C major) he's got's a curse (D major)
(E major) These people (A minor) cried
(E minor) Why can't they un (C major) derstand? (D major)
His mother (C major) called (D major) him Ivan,
(E major) then she died
(A minor)
Verse 8
The old man's (D major) back again (F major)
The (A minor) old man's back again
I can see him (D major) back again (F major)
(A minor) Da da da da (D major) da da (F major) da da (E major)
(A minor)
