D A G D D D A Bm A D D D D D Cairo, Cairo D Cairo is my, my baby's home D See, women in Cairo, women in Cairo D G Sure don't dance, they don't dance alone D G Should have never lent you my 45, A D G I guess my lesson is not to lend G Bm D There's a big needle going over the line, D G And for a time you have a friend Bm A But stone-cold silence in the room means the A D record is at its end G Bm You're turning it over so many times, A D It's never going back into its sleeve again D Yeah, there's two sides to every story D G But it seems like you've got ten G A D When I get no letters, it's the Cairo blues you send D Cairo, Cairo D Cairo is my, my baby's home D See, women in Cairo, women in Cairo D Sure don't dance, they don't dance alone Bm A I never thought I’d live in a world A D With a picture of Napoleon and the sphinxs G Bm D I believe there’ll be a man in a suit and tie D Bm Introducing you to what he drinks Bm D A He's answering your questions funny now D So you'll wonder how he thinks Bm A He sees his reflection in your skin, A D G You're gonna see yours in a hotel sink G D Staring back, the Cairo blues it never blinks D Cairo, Cairo D Cairo is my, my baby's home D See, women in Cairo, women in Cairo D Sure don't dance, they don't dance alone D Now, I'm looking at those thin winter trees D G And they're looking like railings for the sky D I've got my bare hands in my coat pockets D And it's so cold that I could cry D When I see that forest falling, all I hear is firewood D And it's crackling louder than that record ever could G D But it don't drown out those Cairo blues for good D Cairo, Cairo D Cairo is my, my baby's home D See, women in Cairo, women in Cairo D They don't dance alone D
