[Verse]
Em
He got one eye sealed over

         Cm         Em           Am  Em
From the corner of a sovereign ring

       Em                                             N.C.
He was dancing on the table when the bouncer took his swing
[Chorus]
      E5 Em                Am     Em
And the jukebox went Babushka-Yai Ya

                              Am    Em
He was drinking down that Stolichnaya

                     Am    Em
Rabbiting like a gun in a tower

                        Am
It comes in waves in a tsunami
[Instrumental] Cm Em Am Em Cm Em C Em C Em Am Em [Verse]
C             Em      Am        Em
Living a life on the culls of danger

           Cm   Em        Am    Em
Did you go home with a complete stranger?

    C        Em          Am        Em
Chopping out lies in the back of a manger

   C     Em             Am            Cm Em Am Em
Who gave who French que vonvello

       C       Em           Am      Em      Am Em
In the back of the car down by the sea
[Chorus]
        C       Em         Am     Em
And the jukebox went Babushka-Yai Ya

       Cm       Em            Am     Em
He was drinking down that Stolichnaya

     C      E           Am     Em
Your father sung in the mother tongue

  C         Em          Am     Em
Babushka, Babushka, Babushka-Yai Ya
[Bridge]
         E                 Em
Looking for our hands like castenetas

                Am         Em
Sitting in a circle like Geneva

                E
With the Berlin Wall falling in her head

Em
On the Mexican day of the dead

             E                              Em       Am Em
Say a loyal hound never leaves his master's grave

E                   Am      Em              C    Em   Am Em
Stay with him if he falls underneath this wave
[Chorus]
         C       E    Em       Am   Em
When the jukebox went Babushka-Yai Ya

                               Am    Em
He was drinking down that Stolichnaya

                 Am     E
She sees a cross at the window

                          Am
On the Mexican day of the dead
