G C G
1. Hey, Nikita, is it cold in your little corner of the world ?
D - D7
You could roll around the globe,
G - G7
and never find a warmer soul to know.
C G
Oh I saw you by the wall, ten of your tin soldiers in a row,
D - D7
with eyes that looked like ice on fire,
G - G7
the human heart a captive in the snow.
C G
Oh Nikita, you will never know anything about my home,
D
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you,
D7 G - G7
oh, no, Nikita I need you so.
C G
Oh Nikita, it`s the other side of any given line in time,
D D7 G
counting ten tin soldiers in a row, oh no, Nikita you'll never know.
C G
2. Do you ever dream of me, do you ever see the letters that I write,
D
when you look up through the wire,
D7 G - G7
Nikita, do you count the stars at night.
C G
And if there comes a time, guns and gates no longer hold you in,
D - D7
and if you're free to make a choice,
G - G7
just look towards the west and find a friend. + REFRAIN
