For the gEmirl in the photograph, much had changed in the years that passed,
But her lAmonging for the bEmoy she loved was stBmill the same since the wEmar,
It was a mDoonless night upon the rGoad of life, when he'd hAmeld her to say goodbBye,
Many mEmore would survive, for he stAmayed behind to hBelp them live agEmain,Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  B  
When they mEmet at the garden gate, tears would fall from a deep embrace,
For she nAmever knew what hEmappened to the bBmoy she loved in the wEmar,
Back in those hDappy days, before the sGoldiers came, to brAmeak down the ones who remBained,
And they Emonly survived, who could lAmearn to die, and lBive to fight agEmain,Am  Em

There they stEmood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time,
And their mAmemories came rEmolling back of LBmeningrad in the wEmar.

Em Am B D7 Em Em Am Em Am Em

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,

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,

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,

Oh Leningrad...

Am Em Am Em B

Oh Leningrad...

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.
