[Intro] (Lead Intro) F G F G Bb Am C G Dm Am (3x) C G F E Am [Verse 1] It was back along summer of forty years
                G        F         C
I'll tell you a story to bring you tears

    Am
The likes of a romance so few hears

F          G       Am
Out on the Russian front
[Verse 2] She had startling eyes of sapphire blue
               G             F       C
She lived in a house where camellias grew

Am                                F  G  C  F  Am
Where she came from, no one knew
[Verse 3] He stood as firm as the mighty oak
           G       F      C
Smelled as keen as forest smoke

   Am
He loved her with a velvet stroke

F          G       Am
Out on the Russian front
[Verse 4] She loved a man who burst with pride
       G           F      C
Buried deep in her countryside

      Am                             F  G  E   C
Their love for life was long denied
[Lead Break] [Verse 5]
Am
Even now I'm still unclear

          G          F     C
Those who loved each other dear

    Am
Are living in a state of fear

F          G       Am
Out on the Russian front
[Verse 6] Both were sent their separate ways
        G        F     C
Victims of their yesterdays

      Am                         F  G  E   C
The party wins, the farmer pays
[Outro} (Lead Break)
