Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

G Bm C Am7 G/B C G Bm Bm7 C C#dim Dsus
G Bm C F/C
Hey Nikita is it cold
C G C/G G
In your little corner of the world
D7/F# D/F# D7
You could roll around the globe
G C/G G7
And never find a warmer soul to know
Am G/B C Dm C
Oh I saw you by the wall
G C/G G
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
D7/F# D/F# D7/F#
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
G C/G G7
The human heart a captive in the snow
Am G/B C Dm/C CG C/G
Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home
GD C/D D7
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
G C/G G7
Nikita I need you so
Am G/B C Dm/C CG C/G
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
G D
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Em D7F# D G Bm DB C#dim Dsus
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know
Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night
And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend
chorus
SOLO
chorus
G Bm Bm7 C
oh Nikita,
Am GB C D G
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row.
