KEY OF G


 -5 -6b -6 7 -6 -5  -6b
Hey Nik-it-a is it cold

 8  -8   8  -8   -7  7   7  5    -5
In your lit-tle cor-ner of the world

 -8   -7   -7  7   -6   -4  -5b
You could roll a-round the globe

 -4  -4  5 -5b -5b -5b -5  -5b  5  -5
And nev-er find a warm-er soul to know

 7 -7 -8  8  -8  -7   7
Oh I saw you by the wall

 8   8   8   -8  -7    7   7 5  -5
Ten of your tin sol-diers in a row

 -8   -8   -7    -7     7   -6 -4  -5b
With eyes that looked like ice on fire

 -4 -4  5  -5b -5b -5b  -5 -5b  5    4
The hu-man heart a cap-tive in the snow

(CHORUS)

 7  -7 -8 8  -8  -7   -7  7   8
Oh nik-it-a you will nev-er know 

8 -8   -8  -7 -7   7  -8
An-y-thing a-bout my home

 -8   -8 -7  -7   7    7  -6   -6 -6b  -5  -7
I'll nev-er know how good it feels to hold you

 -8  8 8 8   8   -8  7
Nik-it-a I need you so

 7  -7 -8 8 -8  -7  -7  7   8   8
Oh nik-it-a is the oth-er side of 

 8 -8 -8 -7  -7  7   -8
an-y giv-en line in time

  -8   -7  -7  7   7    -6  -6 -6b -5
Count-ing ten tin sol-diers in  a row

-8  8  -8  -9 8   8     8  -8   7
Oh no, nik-it-a you'll nev-er know


VERSE

-5 -6b -6 7    -6  -5 -6b
Do you ev-er dream of me

 8  -8  8 -8  -7  7   -6  7     7  5  -5
Do you ev-er see the let-ters that I write

 -8   -7  -7   7    -6    7   -6
When you look up through the wire

-4  -4 5 -5b -5b -5b   -5  -5b   5  -5
Nik-it-a do you count the stars at night

 -7 -8   8     -8 -7  7
And if there comes a time

  8   8   8    -8  -7  7   7    5  -5
Guns and gates no lon-ger hold you in

 -8 -8   -7    -7   7  -6  7   -6
And if you're free to make a choice

 -4   -4   5  -5b  -5b  -5b  -5 -5b  5    4
Just look to-wards the west and find a friend

(CHORUS TO END)

ENJOY!!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
