Bm
Mama gave me my tender heart
Em7
Papa told me the truth is freedom
Bm
My eighth wife did tell me
Em7
“I so love what you’re all about
Bm
If you only knew how much I love what you’re all about
F# Em
But life led by emotion
Bm
Is walking through fire”
Em F#7
There was nothing new in her lines
Em Bm
I heard that story seven times
Mama gave me my tender heart
Em7
Papa told me the truth is freedom
Bm
My eighth wife did tell me
Em7
“I so love what you’re all about
Bm
If you only knew how much I love what you’re all about
F# Em
But life led by emotion
Bm
Is walking through fire”
Em F#7
There was nothing new in her lines
Em Bm
I heard that story seven times
Bm
I will go to the fair
Em7
And buy you a nightingale
Bm
I will go to the fair
Em7
And buy you a real nightingale
Bm
And at the station, Moscow train station
Em7
I’ll be waiting for you
Bm
You don’t have to be the ideal of perfection
You don’t even need to have a beautiful heart
Em7
All you need to have
Is a heart that’s daring
F#7 Em Bm
Enough to walk through the fire…
Bm
Mama gave me my tender heart
Em7
Papa told me the truth is freedom…
