[Verse]
Bm7
She wanted to test her husband.
A5           G5             B5
   She knew exactly what to do:
    G5          F#5
A pseudonym to fool him.
E5              A5          B5
   She couldn't have made a worse move.
Bm7
She sent him scented letters,
A5        G5                   B5
  And he received them with a strange delight.
G5         F#5
Just like his wife
Em            A5             B5
  But how she was before the tears,
Em             A5             B5
   And how she was before the years flew by,
Em           A5                G#m  G#m    E7
 And how she was when she was beau - ti - ful.
G/B
   She signed the letter
 
[Chorus]
Bm    A
"All yours,
   Gbass      F#bass        E    Emaj7    F#
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Bm    A
"All yours
   Em         A5          B5       {*}
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya! "
 
Em7  A7  B7  {*}
 
[Verse]
Bm7
She wanted to take it further,
A5         G5                 B5
  So she arranged a place to go,
G5     F#5
To see if he
Em             A5      B5
  Would fall for her incognito.
Bm7
  And when he laid eyes on her,
A5               G5             B5
    He got the feeling they had met before.
G5      F#5
Uncanny how she
Em             A5             B5
   Reminds him of his little lady,
Em        A5            B5
   Capacity to give him all he needs,
Em              A5            B5
  Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
                                 G#m  G#m    E7
Just like his wife when she was beau - ti - ful.
G/B
He shouted out, "I'm
