Dm        Gm
Kashka from Baghdad 

Fmaj7                                Dm
           Lives in sin, they say, 

             Am        
With another man,

       Gm7                  Dm        Gm 
But no one knows who. 

Dm                Gm
Old friends never call there.

Fmaj7                              Dm  
          Some wonder if life's 

                 Am
Inside at all--

                  Gm7                  Dm 
If there's life inside at all. 

        F                     C               Dm           
But we know the lady who rents the room.

        F                       C         Dm 
She catches them calling a la lune. 

G    A
At night

G            A 
They're seen

G         Am
Laughing, 

G    Am
Loving.

           Dm 
They know 

C     Dm
The way

C    D 
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.

Dm                 Gm
Utcha every night.

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

Dm                             Gm 
Won't you let me laugh? 

Dm                         Gm
Let me in your love. 

(Repeat three more times ending on Dm chord)
