Dm Am G Em Fmaj7 Em C
Dm Am G

[Verse 1]
Em C        Am
    Now the king told the boogie men
Em7            G
   You have to let that raga drop
Dm    Am
  The oil down the desert way
Em7         G
   Has been shaken to the top
Dm    Am
  The Sheik he drove his Cadillac
Em7           G
   He went a' cruisin' down the ville
Dm    Am
  The muezzin was a'standing
Em7       F
   On the radiator grill

[Chorus]
   Dm
Shareef don't like it
Am G Em          Fmaj7
     Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah
   Dm
Shareef don't like it
Am G Em          Fmaj7
     Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah

[Verse 2]
   Am
By order of the prophet
Em7   G                    Dm
   We ban that boogie sound
  Am
Degenerate the faithful
Em7          G
   With that crazy Casbah sound
Dm        Am
  But the Bedouin they brought out
     Em7
The electric camel drum
    G
The local guitar picker
        Dm
Got his guitar pickin' thumb
   Am
As soon as the Sharif
Em7
Cleared the square
F
They began to wail

[Chorus]
   Dm
Shareef don't like it
Am G Em          Fmaj7
     Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah
   Dm
Shareef don't like it
Am G Em          Fmaj7
     Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah

[Bridge]
    Am
Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
           Fmaj7
But as the wind changed direction
And the temple band took five
G    Am
 The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

[Chorus]
   Dm
Shareef don't like it
Am G Em          Fmaj7
     Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah
   Dm
Shareef don't like it
Am G Em          Fmaj7
     Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah

[Verse 3]
    Am
The king called up his jet fighters
Em7             G
   He said "You better earn your pay
Dm          Am
  Drop your bombs between the minarets
Em7         G
   Down the Casbah way"
Dm   Am
  As soon as the Sharif was
Em7
Chauffeured outta there
    G
The jet pilots tuned to
    Dm
The cockpit radio blare
   Am
As soon as the Sharif was
Em7
Out of their hair
    F
The jet pilots wailed

[Chorus]
   Dm
Shareef don't like it
Am G Em          Fmaj7
     Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah
   Dm
Shareef don't like it
Am G Em          Fmaj7
     Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah
    Dm
(Shareef don't like it)
Am               G
Thinks it’s not kosher
Em           Fmaj7
(Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah)

[Fade Out]
    Dm
(Shareef don't like it)
     Am       G
Fundamentally can’t take it
Em           Fmaj7
(Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah)
    Dm
(Shareef don't like it)
    Am          G
You know he really hates it
Em           Fmaj7
(Rockin' the Casbah
Em       C
Rock the Casbah)
    Dm
(Shareef don't like it)
Am          G
Really, really hates it
