Am Em
By order of the prophet,
G Dm
"We ban that boogie sound! (clap,clap)
Am Em
Degenerate the faithful
G Dm
with that crazy Casbah sound." (clap,clap)
Am Em
But the Bedouin, they brought out the electric camel drum.

The local guitar picker got his guitar picking thumb.

Note: This is a very simplified version, but it works to get the gist
of the song down. And, it is complete. I fought with a previous guy's
tab, and after taking out all the 7ths and working out the details
(G6, outro, etc), I figured I should share. On my acoustic, it sounds
pretty cool – much improved to me anyways. I hope you find it useful,
and comments to perfect/correct are welcome.
