Intro:
2 bars of F#m
1 bar of Bm
1 bar of C#7
2 bars of F#m

Verse 1:
Bm       C#7        F#m
He was a man just a simple man
Bm               C#7            F#m
His thoughts and pleasures were few
Bm           C#7             F#m
His bread he shared with his father
Bm           C#7          F#m
That was the life that he knew
            D            E      A
And how the snow fell in Kiev today
            D              E         A
And how the wind drove the mourners away
             D        E          A             F#m
Now there is only one man at the grave of Davorian
               Bm          C#7      F#m
And this man's heart is to heavy to pray
            Bm          C#7     F#m
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah       (play twice)

Verse 2:
He was a man just a simple man
Died at the place of his birth
His tombstone shared by the family
A silent place on the earth
An old man stands by the side of the grave
And this man's heart is too heavy to pray
For he is numb with the pain
Of the love that he couldn't share
Until he died there in Kiev today
Nah nah nah...       (play twice)

Instrumental

Verse 3:
He was a man just a simple man
Died at the place of his birth
His tombstone shared by the family
A silent place on the earth
An old man stands by the side of the grave
And this man's heart is to heavy to pray
For he is numb with the pain
Of the love that he couldn't share
And two men died there in Kiev today

Last Chorus:
            Bm          C#7     F#m
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
            Bm          C#7     F#
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah       (repeat to end)
