The oil, down the desert way,

The sheik, he drove his cadillac,

De - generate the faithful   
             SOL              REm

...with that crazy Casbah sound,
        LAm
But the Bedouin, they brought out
    MIm
the electric camel drum
    SOL
The local guitar picker
        REm
got his guitar picking thumb
   LAm                     MIm

As soon as the Shariff had cleared the square
FA
they be - gan to wail---!

    LAm                                    
Now over at the temple,       

....oh, they really pack 'em in,
    LAm                                        
The in crowd say it's cool    

...to dig this chanting thing,
            FA                                   
But, as the wind changed direction,    

...and the temple band took five,
SOL   LAm                           
  The crowd got a whiff

    LAm                              MIm             
The King called up his jet fighters,    
              SOL                REm

he said, "You better earn your pay!
          LAm                        MIm              
Drop your bombs between the minarets   
            SOL          REm

...down the Casbah way!"
   LAm                    MIm

As soon as the Sharif was chauffered out of there
    SOL                     REm

The jet pilots tuned to the cockpit radio blare,
   LAm                    MIm                    
As soon as the Sharif was out of their hair,
