The Pogues - Girl From The Wadi Hammamat guitar tab

***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

Em C Em C

Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream

Em C Em C

The girl from the Wadi Hammamat

Em C B B C

Lovely as a green parakeet

B B C

Em C Em C

I awake alone again

Em C Em C

In the desert of my dreams

Em C B B C

A fertile oasis I have seen

B B C

CHORUS

Em C Em C Em C Em C

I cast my voice to the burning winds

Em C Em C Em C Em

Across the dunes Khamsin Khamsin

Em C Em C Em C Em C

Bring her to me on desire's wings

Em C B B C

On the burning desert wind

B B C

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
