Tom: Bm

  Bm     Bm7/A  G    A
In Europe and   America
  Em             F#m          G    A
There's a growing feeling of hysteria
   Bm              Bm7/A     G       A
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
           F#/A#    Bm           F#(4) F#
In the rhetorical speeches of the So-vi-ets
    D                         F#/A#
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
  Bm                                F#
I don't subscribe to this point of view
            Bm      Bm7/A   G       A
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
       Em                  F#m       Bm
If the Russians love their children too

    Bm    Bm7/A         G    A
How can I save my little boy
     Em   F#m         G     A
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
      Bm      Bm7/A       G      A
There is no monopoly of common sense
   F#/A#    Bm          F#(4)    F#
On either side of the political fence

   D               F#/A#
We share the same biology
   Bm          F# 
Regardless of ideology
  Bm       Bm7/A G     A
Believe me when I say to you
  Em       F#m       G         A       Bm
I hope the Russians love their children too
   Bm       Bm7/A        G    A
There is no historical precedent
           Em           F#m           G    A
To put the words in the mouth of the president
        Bm      Bm7/A         G       A
There's no such thing as a winnable war
       F#/A#    Bm      F#(4)    F#
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
    D                         F#/A#
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
  Bm          Bm          F#        F#
I don't subscribe to this point of view

  Bm       Bm7/A       G   A
Believe me when I say to you
  Em       F#m       G         A       Bm
I hope the Russians love their children too

D                  F#/A#
We share the same biology
  Bm               F#/A#
Regardless of ideology
Bm         Bm7/A       G   A
What might save us me and you
   Em       F#m       G         A       Bm
Is that the Russians love their children too
