Sting - Russians (Guitar / Cello Version) Chords

[F] I've only rarely sung this song in the many years since it was written, because I never
thought it would be relevant again.
But in the light of one man's bloody and woefully misguided decision to invade a peaceful and
threatening neighbour, the song is once again a plea for our common humanity.
_ For the brave Ukrainians fighting against this brutal tyranny, and also the many Russians
who are protesting this outrage, despite the threat of arrest and imprisonment.
We, all of us, love our children.
_ Stop the war. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ In [Fm] Europe [C] and [F] America, [C] _ [Bbm] there's a [F] growing [Cm] feeling [Ab] of [Eb] hysteria.
[Bbm] _ [Ab] Conditioned to [Cm] respond to [F] all the threats [C] and the rhetorical [Fm] speeches of the Soviet,
[Cm] _ Mr [Ab]
Khrushchev said we [C] will bury you.
I [Fm] don't subscribe to [C] this point of view.
It would be [Ab] such an [Db] ignorant thing to [Cm] do if [F] the Russians [C] loved their children [F] too.
_ How [Ab] can I [Cm] save [Db] my [F] little [Cm] boy [F] from _
[C] _ [Db] Oppenheimer's [Ab] deadly [Cm] toy?
There is no monopoly of [F] common [Cm] sense on either [Fm] side of [C] the political fence.
[Ab] We share the same [C] _ biology, _ [Fm] regardless of _ [C] ideology.
_ [Fm] Believe me [Cm] when [Db] I [F] say to [Cm] you, [Bb] I [F] hope the [C] Russians [Ab] love their [Cm] [Fm] children too.

_ [Bbm] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Ab] is no [Cm] historical [F] precedent [C] to put the [Bbm] words [Cm] in the mouth of the [Ab] president.
[Bbm] [Fm] There's no [Cm] such thing as a [F] winnable [Eb] [C] war.
It's a lie we don't believe anymore.
[Ab] We share the same [E] _ biology, _ [Fm] regardless of _ [C] ideology.
_ [Fm] What might [Cm] save us, [F] me and [Cm] you, is that [F] the Russians [C] _ [Ab] love their [Fm] children _ too.
