Notes before you play:
1. This song is more easily played 3 semitones lower (or with capo 3) - the key of g
2. I wrote "Soviets" stretched out with hyphens ("So-vi-ets"). That is for the chords to fit over
the correct syllables
3. Originally, it is played on the organ, so I advise you to use a keyboard
4. Do not play the song by strumming, it will not sound right. Instead, Do this:
(1) If you are playing a keyboard, hit the bass notes on the first beat (where the chord is
written), and the righthand chord on the third (halfway to the next chord)
(2) If you are playing a guitar, pluck the bass on the first beat (where the chord is written),
and pluck the rest of the chord on the third beat (halfway to the next chord)


Key of Gm (with passages in C melodic minor), standard tuning, no capo necessary
