Communist Love Song

C alt. C (you can pick G* with the same principles) G D Em C* It was well conceived in theory but it doesn't work in life. G Em C C* Comrade has to wonder: "is it ever worth the effort?" G D Em C* Well, I don't know, but I've been told not to hang on to my hope. G Em C C* Well, I don't know what I've been told and I've been listening all my life. G D Em If you're ever less than certain about the world G* C* please don't let the worry make its way into your work G D Em and if you would stick up for me and face some adversity, G* C* know that I would only do the same.
