ROCK THE CASBAH--THE CLASH
-----------------------------
A7Now, the king told the boogie men, Em7
--More--(4%)G7 Dm7
you have to let that raga drop.
The A7oil down the desert way Em7
has been G7shaking to the top. Dm7
The A7sheik he drove his cadillaEm7c
he went a G7cruisin down the villDm7e.
The A7Muezzin was a standing Em7
On the Fmaj7radiator grille.
chorus:
ShaDm7reef don't like it.A7 G7
Em7Rock the CFmaj7asbah. Em7Rock the CasbaA7h.
ShDm7areef don't like it.A7 G7
Em7Rock the Fmaj7Casbah. Em7Rock the CasA7bah.
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.
