Dr Zhivago

Am         G              F                 Em   Dm
When I was young I didn't know my left from right
           C            F        G
My parents kept me prisoner from love
Am            G            F                  Em  Dm
And as I grew up I noticed how some lives are born
     C             F    G
Into suffering and tragedy

[Pre-Chorus]

F                               Em
Fighting for my country against fascism and cruelty
Dm                     C   F   G
Then I saw the workers plight
F                     Em
Came to me in pieces, building up a thesis
Dm                     C   F  G
Rome wasn't built over night

[Chorus]

         Am             G    F
I'm just waiting for my cold embargo
      C    G          Am       G    F           Em     G
To be lifted and I'll bathe in your success and golden light
Am   G   F
Cold war dictator
       Am                 G     F
I once believed but now I can't accept you
        C     G       Am      G      F      Em    G
How you treated Pasternak and Hungary – you upset me

[Pre-Chorus]

F              Em
1956 turned to '57
      Dm            C    F G
I was still a party animal
            F
But not for long
                Em
There had to be another way
           Dm
To get our point across
   C   F  G      F Em Dm C  F G
So justice could prevail today

[Chorus]

      C    G          Am      G   F    Em          G
To be lifted and I'll publish all your manuscripts tonight
Am   G   F
Cold war dictator
       Am                 G     F
I once believed but now I can't accept you
