[Verse 1]
Am
The samovar is full of tea,
Am
You stare unblinkingly at me,
           F                         E
While your car waits in the freezing rain,
            Am
I know your soul calls Moscow home,
Am
But your heart belongs to Rome,
       F                          E
So for years I've followed you in vain,
    G
But oh... will you ever know... what you are!


[Chorus]
     C             F
Dosvedanya, mio bombino,
     C             F
Dosvedanya, mio bombino,
Am         G                E
There is a place where only you alone go,
Am         G                E            Am  E  Am
There is a world that only you alone know.


[Verse 2]
Am
Along an endless balcony,
Am
Above the Adriatic Sea,
           F                         E
I tried to storm the Kremlin of your heart,
Am
In Florence we were on the mend,
Am
But that mazurka had to end,
               F                    E
You missed the naked trees of Gorky Park,
    G
But oh... will you ever know... what you've lost!


[Chorus]
     C             F
Dosvedanya, mio bombino,
     C             F
Dosvedanya, mio bombino,
Am         G                E
There is a place where only you alone go,
Am         G                E
There is a world that only you alone know.

Dosvedanya, mio bombino,
     C             F
Dosvedanya, mio bombino,
Am         G                E
There is a place where only you alone go,
Am         G                E            N.C.
There is a world that only you alone know.


[Verse 3]
N.C.        Am
I heard you finally settled down,
     Am7
In a warm Italian town,
     F                         E
So I took the train to see you there,
             Am
Your wife is sweet and you're well-fed,
              Am7
Your daughter tucked away in bed,
           F                          Esus4  E
Still, you looked at me with great despair,
        F               Fmaj7  Esus4
"I hear snow is falling on Red Square!"
