         Babooshka
[Verse 1]
Dm
 She wanted to test her husband

G7sus4      Bb            D
 She knew exactly what to do

  Bbmaj7       Am7
A pseudonym to fool him

Gm7           C           D
 She couldn't have made a worse move
[Verse 2]
Dm
 She sent him scented letters

G7sus4    Bb                 D
 And he received them with a strange delight

Bbmaj7    Am7
Just like his wife

Gm7          C              D
 But how she was before the tears
[Bridge]
Gm7          C              D
 And how she was before the years flew by

Gm7          C               [ G7sus4 ]
 And how she was when she was beautiful

[Chorus]
Dm  Csus4
All yours

  Gm7        D          Gm7
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya

Dm  Csus4
All yours

  Gm7        D         [ Gm ]
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya

         Babooshka
[Verse 3]
Dm
 She wanted to take it further

G7sus4   Bb                 D
 So she arranged a place to go

Bbmaj7 Am7
To see if he

Gm7              C            D
 Would fall(-uh) for her incognito
[Verse 4]
Dm
 And when he laid eyes on her

G7sus4      Bb               D
 He got the feeling they had met before

  Bbmaj7  Am7
Uncanny   how she

Gm7          C             D
 Reminds him of his little lady
[Bridge]
Gm7    C              D
 Capacity to give him all he needs

Gm7            C               D
 Just like his wife before she freezed on him

Gm7            C               [ G7sus4 ]
 Just like his wife when she was beautiful

[Chorus]
    Dm  Csus4

  Gm7        D          Gm7
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya

Dm  Csus4
All yours

  Gm7        D          Gm7
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya

Dm  Csus4
All yours

  Gm7        D          Gm7
