Rock the Casbah

Clash

 
      -----------------------------

 A7Em7
 Now, the king told the boogie men, 
 G7Dm7
--More--(4%)  
you have to let that raga drop.
 A7Em7
The oil down the desert way 
 G7Dm7
has been shaking to the top. 
 A7Em7
The sheik he drove his cadillac
 G7Dm7
he went a cruisin down the ville.
 A7Em7
The Muezzin was a standing 
 Fmaj7
On the radiator grille.
chorus:
 Dm7A7G7
Shareef don't like it.  
 Em7Fmaj7Em7A7
 Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah.
 Dm7A7G7
Shareef don't like it.  
 Em7Fmaj7Em7A7
 Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah.
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 picking thumb.
As soon as the Shareef 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 five
The crowd got 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 down between the minarets
Down the casbah way.
As sson as the Shareef was chauffered out of there,
The jet pilote tuned to the cockpit radio blare.
As soon as the Shareef was outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed.
Chorus to extro.
