         D                               Am
         So here we stand at the edge of 1984

         Bm                     E
         Bracing ourselves once again

                                      Am
         For the storm approaching as those

                         Bm                        A
         Who long before huddled in caves from the rain

             A7      D       D7/F#      G
         The enemies face is so hard to see

         A            Bm           A          G
         Sometimes it seems I that see him in you

             A            D
         And sometimes in me

         D7/F#      G
         Who can he be?

         A           Bm        A            G
         No use consulting the prophets and leaders 

         A            D
         They all disagree.
         
         
         Chorus
         D            Am         G                 D
         Russians and Americans, here's a song for you

             Bm         A             G             D
         Who carry this weight of the world on your heads

         D            Am         G               D
         Russians and Americans, tell me if it's true

             Bm     A               G                  D
         You really believe all the things that you've said

             Bm             A            G        D
         The Red, White and Blue running into the red.
