[Verse 1]
Now the [Am]king told the boogie [Em]men
"You have to [G]let that raga [Dm]drop"
The [Am]oil down the desert [Em]way
Has been [G]shakin' to the [Dm]top
The [Am]Sheik he drove his [Em]Cadillac
He went a- [G]cruisin' down the [Dm]ville
The [Am]Muezzin was [Em]a-standin'
On the [F]radiator grille, ow
[F][Em]

[Chorus 1]
Sha[Dm]reef don't like [Am]it[G]
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah
Sha[Dm]reef don't like [Am]it[G]
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah

[Verse 2]
By [Am]order of the [Em]prophet
We'll [G]ban that boogie [Dm]sound
De[Am]generate the [Em]faithful
With that [G]crazy Casbah [Dm]sound
But the [Am]Bedouin they brought out
an e[Em]lectric camel drum
The [G]local guitar picker
got his [Dm]guitar pickin' thumb
As [Am]soon as the Shareef
had [Em]cleared the square
[F]They began to wail
[F][Em]

[Chorus 2]
Sha[Dm]reef don't like [Am]it[G]
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah
Sha[Dm]reef don't like [Am]it[G]
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah

[Bridge 1]
Now, [Am]over at the temple
Oh, they really pack 'em in
The [Am]in-crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the [F]wind changed direction
And the temple band took [G]five
The [Am]crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

[Chorus 3]
Sha[Dm]reef don't like [Am]it[G]
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah
Sha[Dm]reef don't like [Am]it[G]
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah

[Verse 3]
The [Am]king called up his jet fight[Em]ers
"He said you [G]better earn your [Dm]pay
Drop your [Am]bombs between the minaret[Em]s
Down the [G]Casbah [Dm]way"
As [Am]soon as the Shareef
was [Em]chauffeured outta there
The [G]jet pilots tuned to the [Dm]cockpit radio blare
[Am]Soon as the Shareef was [Em]outta their hair
The [F]jet pilots wail
[F][Em]

[Chorus 4]
Sha[Dm]reef don't like [Am]it[G]
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah

[Chorus 5]
Sha[Dm]reef don't like it (he [Am]thinks it's [G]not kosher)
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah
Sha[Dm]reef don't like...
(funda[Am]mentally [G]can't take it)
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah

[Chorus 6]
Sha[Dm]reef don't like it
(you [Am]know he real[G]ly hates it)
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah
Sha[Dm]reef don't like it (he [Am]really, real[G]ly hates it)
[Em]Rockin' the [F]Casbah, [Em]rock the [Am]Casbah
[Fade out]
