ROCK THE CASBAH    THE CLASH

KEY OF C


 8  -6b  -6b  -6b -6b  7  -6b -6b
Now the king told the boo-gie men

 7  -6b -6b -6b -6b -6b -6b  8
You have to let that ra-ga drop

-6b -6b  -6b -6b  7  -6b -6b
The oil down the des-ert way

-6b  -5  -6b -6b -6b -6b  -7
Has been shak-in' to the top

-6b  -6b -6b  -6b  -6b  7 -6b -6b
The sheik he drove his Cad-il-lac

 7  -6b -5 -6b -6b   -6b -6b   8
He went a-cruis-in' down the ville

-6b  -6b -6b -6b -6b   7  -6b
The muezz-in was a' stand-ing

-6b -5 -6 -6 -6 -6   -7
On the ra-di-a-tor grille

(CHORUS)

-8    8     7   -8  -7
Sha-reef don't like it

  8  -5  -5  -6b -6b
Rock-in' the Cas-bah

  8   -5 -6b -6b
Rock the Cas-bah

-8    8     7   -8  -7
Sha-reef don't like it

  8  -5  -5  -6b -6b
Rock-in' the Cas-bah

  8   -5 -6b -6b
Rock the Cas-bah


VERSE 2 Same as 1
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

-6b -6b -6b -6b -6b  7  -6b
Now  o-ver  at  the tem-ple

-6b  -5  -6b -6b -6b  -6b -6b
Oh! They real-ly pack 'em in

-6b -6b -6b  -6b  -6b   7
The in crowd say it's cool

-6b -6b  -6b  -6b  -6b  -6b
To  dig this chant-ing thing

-6b -6b -5  -6b   -6b  -6b  7  -6b
But as the wind changed di-rec-tion

-6b  -5 -6b -6b -6b  -6b  -6b
And the tem-ple band took five

 -5  -6b   -6b -6b  7
The crowd caught a wiff

-6b -6b -9 -6b  -9  -9  -9
Of that cra-zy Cas-bah jive

CHORUS


VERSE 3 same as 1
The king called out his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way
As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

CHORUS TO END

ENJOY!!
