do  you  remember how those commys  used to make us feel 
    G      D    Em7
And I know if I had my chance,
     Am                 C            
to make the soviets more like france  
    Em              C           D
then  maybe the  america  happy for a while               
    Em       Am                   Em          Am
But the cold war  made us  shiver, with all the stress it  delivered 
C        G      Am          C                      D
nuclear missiles  on the doorstep, we  couldn't take one more step
  G          D        Em           Am7            D
I can't remember if I cried when we created NATO to protect our side 
G         D          Em
but Something touched me deep inside
    C       D7    G   C   G
The day the avero arrow died
