Intro: Dm Gm Dm Gm

[Dm]Kashka fro[Gm]m Baghdad

[Fmaj7] Lives in sin, they say, [Dm]

With another [Am]man,

But no [Gm7]one knows who. [Dm][Gm]

[Dm]Old friends never [Gm]call there.

[Fmaj7] Some wonder if life's [Dm]

Inside at all--[Am]

If there's life in[Gm7]side at all. [Dm]

But we k[F]now the lady who rents[C] the room.[Dm]

She catc[F]hes them calling a la lu[C]ne. [Dm]

[G]At ni[A]ght

[G]They're seen[A]

[G]Laughing, [Am]

[G]Lovin[Am]g.

They know [Dm]

[C]The wa[Dm]y

[C]To be[D]

(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.


[Dm]Utcha every night.[Gm]

[Dm]Don't you know they're seen?[Gm]

[Dm]Won't you let me laugh? [Gm]

[Dm]Let me in your love. [Gm]

(Repeat three more times ending on Dm chord)
