Kashka from Baghdad
Fmaj7Dm
Lives in sin, they say,
Am
With another man,
Gm7Gm
But no one knows who.
DmGm
Old friends never call there.
Fmaj7Dm
Some wonder if life's
Am
Inside at all--
Gm7Dm
If there's life inside at all.

But we know the lady who rents the room.
FCDm
She catches them calling a la lune.
GA
At night
GA
They're seen
GAm

Loving.
Dm
They know
CDm
The way
CD
To be
(No chords)
Happy-y-y-y-y-y-y.
(Same chord progression from verse to refrain)
They never go for walks.
Maybe it's because
The moon's not bright enough.
There's light in love, you see.
I watch their shadows,
Tall and slim,
In the window opposite.
I long to be with them.
'Cause when all the alley-cats come out,
You can hear music from Kashka's house.
At night
They're seen
Laughing,
Loving.
They know
The way
To be
Happy-y-y-y-y-y-y-y.
DmGm
Utcha every night.
DmGm
Don't you know they're seen?
DmGm
Won't you let me laugh?
DmGm
Let me in your love.
(Repeat three more times ending on Dm chord)
