Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Kashka from Baghdad

Lives in sin, they say,

 With another man,

 But no one knows who.

Old friends never call there.

Some wonder if life's

 Inside at all--

 If there's life inside at all.

 But we know the lady who rents the room.

 She catches them calling a la lune.

At night

They're seen

Laughing,

Loving.

 They know

The way

To be

(No chords)

(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

Utcha every night.

Don't you know they're seen?

Won't you let me laugh?

Let me in your love.

(Repeat three more times ending on Dm chord)
