Mecca

Gene Pitney

Verse 1:

 Dm
        I live on the west side
 BbCFGmA7
        She lives on the east side of the street  (Mecca, Mecca)  
 Dm
        And though they say that east is east
 BbCFF7
        And west is west, and never the twain shall meet  (Mecca, Mecca)

Chorus:

 BbA7
        Each morning I face her window
 BbA7
        And pray that our love can be
 DmBb
        'Cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Dm A7 Dm (1,2: A7)
Is Mecca Mecca to me
(Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca)

Verse 2:

Though she's my dream goddess
And her ruby lips are so divine
And though her folks say we're too young
To know of love, I worship at her shrine

(repeat chorus)
