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
Dr. Zhivago
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
[Break]
F Em Dm C F G
[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]
Am G F
Dr. Zhivago
Am G F
I'm just waiting for my cold embargo
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
C G Am G F Em G
How you treated Pasternak and Hungary – you upset me
Am G F
Dr. Zhivago
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
