             Am7                 Em7
Now the King told the boogie man ■  
G7                             D7
You have to let that raga drop ■ 
    Am           Am7    Am  Em7
The oil down the desert way ■  
                 G7         D7
Has been shakin' to the top ■ 
             Am7                Em7
The Sheik he drove his Cadillac ■  
G7                              
He went acruisin' down the ville
D7  Am                    Em7
The muezzin was astandin' ■  
Em Em7    Fmaj7          
■  On the radiator grille


[Chorus]
Em7    Dm7   F       G

[Verse]
   Am7                 
By order of the Prophet
   Em7     G    G7     D7   
We ■   ban that boogie sound
Am7            C       
Degenerate the faithful
G7                          
With that crazy Casbah sound
Am                              
But the Bedouin they brought out
             Em        
The electric camel drum
          G7           
The local guitar picker
        G7                 
Got his guitarpickin' thumb
D7      Am                        Em        
As soon as the Sharif had cleared the square
     F        Fmaj7
They began to wail

[Verse]
         Am           
Now over at the temple
A7                        
Oh they really pack 'em in
F7  Am          A7       
The incrowd say it's cool
            Am            
To dig this chanting thing
                F                
But as the wind changed direction
                         Am   G7
And the temple band took fire ■ 
Am                      
The crowd caught a whiff
A7                          
■  Of that crazy Casbah jive

[Bridge]
Am                                  Em7
The King called up his jet fighters ■  
            G7               D7 
He said you better earn your pay
                Am                   Em7
Drop your bombs between the Minarets ■  
G7                  D7
Down the Casbah way ■ 
   Am                     Em7               G7   
As soon as the Sharif was chauffeured outta there
                                    D7         
The jet pilots tuned to the cockpit radio blare
   Am                           Em7   Em  
As soon as the Sharif was outta their hair
        F      C     
The jet pilots wailed

Rock the Casbah ■ 
             F      
Sharif don't like it
          C              
He thinks it's not kosher
            Dm7   
Rockin' the Casbah

Rock the Casbah
Dm
