there she stood in an empty room , heard a voice from another time ,
Am Em Bm Em Am
and the memories came rolling back of leningrad in the war ,

Em
for the girl in the photograph , much had changed in the years that passed ,
Am Em Bm Em
but her longing for the boy she loved was still the same since the war ,

D G Am B
it was a moonless night upon the road of life , when he’d held her to say goodbye ,
Em Am B Em Am Em Am Em Am B
many more would survive , for he stayed behind to help them live again ,

Em
when they met at the garden gate , tears would fall from a deep embrace ,
Am Em Bm Em
for she never knew what happened to the boy she loved in the war ,

D G Am B
back in those happy days , before the soldiers came , to break down the ones who remained ,
Em Am B Em Am Em
and they only survived , who could learn to die , and live to fight again ,

Em
oh leningrad . . .
Am Em Am Em B
oh leningrad . . .

Em
there they stood in an empty room , heard a voice from another time ,
Am Em Bm Em
and their memories came rolling back of leningrad in the war .
