Song
GIRL FROM THE WADI HAMMAMAT - by Andrew Rankin and Jem Finer
from the album "Waiting For Herb"
Ok, This is as close as I can figure... If anyone else wants to take a shot
and correct or completely tab or redo, be my guest!
Girl From The Wadi Hammamat - as perfomed by The Pogues
Fade in on B
Em Em C repeatedly
Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
Lovely as a green parakeet
I awake alone again
In the desert of my dreams
A fertile oasis I have seen
CHORUS
I cast my voice to the burning winds
Across the dunes Khamsin Khamsin
Bring her to me on desire's wings
On the burning desert wind
Arabic riff.... A B-scale? Too tough for me to tab out :p
She means the world to me
In a single grain of sand
Bring a camel to this man
Perched on a bough her tresses hang down
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
She is as sweet as a green parakeet
CHORUS
Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
