Rock the Casbah - The Clash

        Am            Em7                     G7.           Dm7
Now the King told the boogie man, you have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way, has been shakin' to the top
The Sheik, he drove his Cadillac, he went a-cruisin' down the ville
	                              F
The muezzin was a-standin', on the radiator grille (ow!)
 
	Dm7                 Am G
	Sharif don't like it
	Em7.     F
	Rock the Casbah x2      [repeat]
	
By order of the Prophet, we ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful, with that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin, they brought out the electric camel drum
The local guitar picker got his guitar-pickin' thumb
As soon as the Sharif had cleared the square, they began to wail

	[chorus]

Now over at the temple, oh, they really pack 'em in
The in-crowd say it's cool, to dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction, and the temple band took fire
                                  F
The crowd caught a whiff, of that crazy Casbah jive

	[chorus]

The King called up his jet fighters, he said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the Minarets, down the Casbah way
As soon as the Sharif was chauffeured outta there, the jet pilots tuned to the cockpit radio blare
As soon as the Sharif was outta their hair, the jet pilots wailed

	[chorus] x2
