Miss Gradenko
---------------
[It's a song by the Police. It sounds *great* because of this cool
arpeggio picking that the guy (Copeland, I think. Or is it Summers?).
The E7 and D7 seem to be played alternating between standard and A-Barre
forms. The D9 is X00230. The D9 may be wrong. The second line may
end in an A7 instead of the E7 A7 progression, but I'm not sure.
If anyone would care to either correct this or send a note saying
"You're right".]

But are you safe, Miss Gradenko?

We were at the policy meeting

They were finding new ways of cheating

I don't want to rock your boat

Your uniform don't seem to fit
you're much too alive in it.
You've been letting your feelings show
Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko are you safe?

| This song is clearly about a woman inside some sort of organization which subjects its members to dehumanizing uniformity, and otherwise "cheats". It may be an unscrupulous corporation, but the Russian sound of "Gradenko" indicates that this is probably about a Communist governent and a woman inside who is getting too lively for the system to tolerate. Excellent elaboration on this and other songs at: http://www.stewartcopeland.net/lyrics/lyrics.htm | |

| [Stephen Holden—Rolling Stone 1983] Stewart Copeland's "Miss Gradenko," a novelty about secretarial paranoia in the Kremlin, is memorable mainly for Summers' modal twanging between the verses. | |
