{Intro:} E 
 
 A                       D 
Flew in from Miami Beach B. O. A. C. 
 C                      D 
Didn't get to bed last night 
A                            D 
On the way the paperback was on my knee 
 C                     D 
Man I had a dreadful flight 
 
                      A 
I'm back in the U.S.S.R. 
C                            D 
You don't know how lucky you are boy 
                  A    D  Eb E 
Back in the U.S.S.R. 
 
Been away so long I hardly knew the place 
Gee it's good to be back home 
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case 
Honey disconnect the phone 
 
I'm back in the U.S.S.R. 
You don't know how lucky you are boy 
G9 
Back in the U.S. 
Back in the U.S. 
                  A 
Back in the U.S.S.R. 
 
            D 
Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out 
       A 
They leave the West behind 
       D   A/C#           C       B7 
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout 
       E7                         D7             A     D  Eb E 
That Geogia's always on my mi mi mi mi mi mi mind         Oh come on! 
 
Oh, show me 'round your snow-peaked mountains way down south 
Take me to your daddy's bar 
Let me hear your balalaikais ringing out 
Come and keep your comrade warm
