Lyrics
They (G7)tell us times are (C)better.
Well, (G7)I say they're (C)not!
Can't (G7)cook an empty (C)promise in an (D)empty (Bb7)pot.
"A brighter day is (Eb)dawning.
It's (Bb7)almost at (Eb)hand!"
The (C)skies are gray, the (Fm6)walls have ears,
and (C)he who argues (Fm)disappears!
(C)Hail our (D7)brave new (Dm)land!
(G7)St. (Cm)Petersburg is booming!
A (Fm)city on the rise!
It's (Bb7)really very friendly, if you (G)don't mind spies!
We (C)stand behind our leaders and (Fm)stand in line for bread!
We're good and loyal (Cm)comrades and our (Ab7)fav'rite color's (G7)red!
Now (Cm)ev'ryone is equal.
(Fm)Professors push the brooms.
Two (Bb7)dozen total strangers live in (G)two small rooms!
You (C)hold a revolution and (Fm)here's the price you pay!
Thank goodness for the (Cm)gossip!
(Ab7)Spasibo za (Cm)slukhi!
Thank (Fm)goodness for the (Cm)gossip that (G7)gets us through the (Cm)day!
(C)Have (F)you (C)heard?
There's a (G)rumor in St.
(C)Petersburg! Have (F)you (C)heard what they're (D7)saying on the (G)street?
(Fm)Although the Tsar did (Cm)not survive one (Dm7)daughter (G)may be (Cm)still alive!
The (Fm)Princess (Cm)Anastasia!
But please do not repeat!
(C)It's a (Fm)rumor, a legend, a (Cm)mystery!
Something (Dm7)whispered in an (G)alleyway or (Cm)through (Bdim)a (C7)crack!
It's a (Fm)rumor that's part of our (Cm)history!
They (F)say her royal (C)Grandmama will (F)pay a royal (C)sum to (Am7)someone who can (D7)bring the princess (G7)back!
(A7)It's the (Dm)rumor, the legend, the (Am)mystery!
It's the (Bm7)Princess (E)Anastasia who will (Am)help (G#dim)us (A)fly!
You and (Dm)I, friend, will go down in (Am)history!
We'll (D)find a girl to (A)play the part and (D)teach her what to (A)say,
(D)dress her up and (F#m7)take her to (Bm7)"Paree!"
(E)(Eb)Imagine the (Bb)reward her dear old (Eb)(D7)Grandmama would (Gm)pay!
Who (Am7)else could pull it (A7)off but you and (D)me?
A (Dm6)ruble for this painting!
It's (Gm)Romanov, I swear!
Count (C)Yusopov's pajamas!
