I was born my grandfather held me in his warm hands\r\nAnd it seems though his eyes are teary ,\r\nBut it's hard to tell from an old photograph\r\nWhile my brother and sister danced at the feet of his tired and weathered frame\r\nHe said there's a light to this boy I've rarely seen\r\nAnd there he gave me my name\r\n\r\nWell my grandfather was a sniper \r\nIn the Red Army\r\nHe never had any brothers in arms for on both sides stood enemies\r\nWith a cold, unbroken will to survive\r\nHis steady hand took aim\r\nAnd he drank just enough to keep himself warm\r\nFor he never spoke his true name\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Cm[/ch]      [ch]Gm[/ch]      [ch]Cm[/ch]       [ch]Gm[/ch]      [ch]Ab[/ch]      [ch]Bb[/ch]     [ch]Eb[/ch]\r\nMMMM-mmmmm[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Eb[/ch]
