"Back In The USSR" — a gleeful Chuck Berry/Beach Boys parody that opens the White Album with maximum energy. Those Ukrainian girls really knock me out.

BRIDGE
A D
Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
A
They leave the west behind
D F#m/C# Am/C B7
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
E7 D7 A
That Georgia`s always on my-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
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
Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south,
take me to your daddy`s farm
Let me hear you balalaikas ringing out,
come and keep your comrade warm
