Verse 1:
Em     D         G
What a time, in '89
   B                 Em
We drank our fill of Russian wine
     C        B            Em
Your laughter rang through alleyways
    C            B
And set my heart ablaze

Verse 2:
  Em         D      G
I worshipped you in worn-out jeans
    B                Em
In frigid flats with old latrines
    C    B            Em
The city lights, they seemed to gleam
     C                 B
More brightly in those days

Em   C   B
Em   C   B7

Verse 3:
    Em     D          G
Now twenty years have come and gone
    B                   Em
But still your laughter lingers on
    C     B7      Em
And weary eyes of dogs and men
     C                B
They fill my thoughts again

Verse 4:
    Em       D            G
Not much has changed, for all they say
    B                    Em
The rich still rule; the poor still pray
  C        B7       Em
I see them kneeling everywhere these days
    C                B
And where are you my friend?

Instrumental:
Em   G  B
Em   C  B
Em   C  B7


Verse 5:
Em     D         G
What a time, in '89
    B                   Em
The world was ours, and you were mine
   C    B7        Em                 C
We sang until the wall came tumbling down
Am      B     Em
What an awful sound

Instrumental:
C  B  D
C  Am
