Intro: FA6G6C6FA6G6C6
Well I?m just a middle aged middle eastern camel herdin? man
FA6G6C6
I got a 2 bedroom cave here in north Afganistan
FA6G6C6
Things used to be real cool then they got out of hand
FA6G6C6FA6G6C6
When they moved in, .......they call themselves the Taliban
FA6G6C6FA6G6C6
(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:
BbC
You know someday soon we?re both gonna saddle up
FAmDm
And it?ll be ride, camel, ride
BbCFF7
My old lady she?ll be here with me smilin? right by my side
BbCFAmDm
We should do just fine down in Palestine or maybe Turkministan
BbCF
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
