INTRO F#m VERSE 1 F#m As sure as Lenin lies in state F#m Behind the walls of Kremlin's gate Bm As sure as Moscow's winter's long Bm It's cold air full with workers song D The glass is never empty A The glass is never full C# B A G# A Life is but a drink (G#) A D G# Oh, oh, oh, oh, C# B A G# F#m E F#m E And Everything is Golden
VERSE 2 The strongest smokes I ever smoked My lungs turned black I nearly choked No time now we're headed North Tomorrow we hit St. Petersburg Our spirits never broken Our bellies never full
The glass is never empty The glass is never full Life is but a drink Oh, oh, oh, oh, And Everything is Golden
CHORUS A I could spend a thousand nights E Filled with golden lights C# F#m Just don't wake me in the morning A E All those dancing days in a drunken haze C# C#7 We all know, we know just where we're going now
VERSE 3 As the cosmonaut floats in space Miles above the human race His thoughts they seem to linger on Wine and women and workers song The battle may be over But the war is never won
The glass is never empty The glass is never full Life is but a drink Oh, oh, oh, oh, And Everything is Golden
CHORUS I could spend a thousand nights Filled with golden lights Just don't wake me in the morning All those dancing days in a drunken haze We all know, we know just where we're going now
