This was tabbed off a version done on the Bob and Tom show. If you
want to play along with the Shock 'N Yall version, Capo on 1!.
The chord names may not be correct but the shapes are right.
When you are playing the intro and the verses you should
Fingerpick with a bass note first then pluck the bottom
strings all at the same time (listen the the song and you will
hear what I am referring to:
F = 133211 Bb = x13331
A6 = 545555 C = x35553
G6 = 323333 Am = 577555
C6 = x32333 Dm = x57765
F7 = 131241
Intro:
F A6 G6 C6
F A6 G6 C6
Well I’m just a middle aged middle eastern camel herdin’ man
F A6 G6 C6
I got a 2 bedroom cave here in north Afganistan
F A6 G6 C6
Things used to be real cool then they got out of hand
F A6 G6 C6 F A6 G6 C6
When they moved in, .......they call themselves the Taliban
F A6 G6 C6 F A6 G6 C6
(ooo-ooo-ooo yea, )the Taliban
(Same chords as above verses)
Now, I ain’t seen my wife’s face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she’s just like me, naw she can’t stand the Taliban
(ooo-Taliban baby)
Chorus:
Bb C
You know someday soon we’re both gonna saddle up
F Am Dm
And it’ll be ride, camel, ride
Bb C F F7
My old lady she’ll be here with me smilin’ right by my side
Bb C F Am Dm
We should do just fine down in Palestine or maybe Turkministan
Bb C F
We’ll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban
(go back to verse chords here)
Oh oh yea the Taliban, baby
Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win
Said they would stand and fight until the very bloody end
Well, Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said
Now you knuckleheads better not be doin’ business with the Taliban
So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
And then those big US jets came flyin’ in one night
They dropped little bombs all over our holy land
And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran, the Taliban
Chorus
We’ll bid a fair adieu and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban
