Hey, Nikita is it cold
A E A/E
In your little corner of the world
E B E/B
You could roll around the globe

and never find a warmer soul to know
E7 E7/G# A Bm/A D/A
Oh, I saw you by the wall

Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
E B E/B
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
B7 E A/E
The human heart a captive in the snow
_____Chorus:
E7 E7 G# A Bm/E
Oh, Nikita you will never know
A E
anything about my home
B E/B
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
B7 E A/E
Nikita, I need you so

Oh, Nikita is the other side
A E A/E
of any given line in time

Counting ten tin soldiers in a row

Do you e__ver dream of me

When you look up through the wire

Nikita do you count the stars at night
E7 E7/G# A Bm/A D/A
And if there comes a time
A E F#m/E
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
E B E/B
And if you're free to make a choice
B7 E A/E
Just look towards the west and find a friend
