[C][Em][Dm][G]
[C][Em][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
"I'm just a [C]middle-aged, [Em]middle-eastern
[Dm]camel herding [G]man
I got a lit[C]tle, two- bed[Em]room cave
here [Dm]in North Afghani [G]stan
Things [C]used to be [Em]real nice
and they [Dm]got out of [G]hand
[C]since [Em]they moved in
[Dm]They[G] call themselves
[C]the Tali[Em]ban [Dm](The [G]Taliban)
[C](Th[Em]e Tal[Dm]iban[G],
[C]ba- [Em]by)[Dm][G]
[C][Em][Dm][G]

[Verse 2]
Now I ain't [C]seen my [Em]wife's face
since [Dm]they came [G]here
They make her wear [C]a scarf o[Em]ver her head
that [Dm]covers her from ear to [G]ear
She [C]loves the [Em]desert
and the [Dm]hot white [G]sand
[C]But man [Em]she's just like [Dm]me,
nah she [G]can't stand
[C]The Taliban[Em][Dm]
[G](The Taliban, [C]ba [Em]by)[Dm][G]

[Chorus 1]
But you know [F]someday soon
we're both going to [G]saddle up and it'll [C]be
Ride [G]Camel [Am]ride
My old [F]lady she'll be here with [G]me,
just smiling [C]right by my [Gm]side[C]
We should [F]do just fine
out a[G]round Palestine or may[C]be
Turk[G]meni[Am]stan
We'll bid a [Dm]fair adieu and flip [G]the finger to
[C]the Tal[Em]iban[Dm][G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em][Dm][G]
[C][Em][Dm][G]
[C][Em][Dm][G]
[C][Em][Dm][G]

[Verse 3]
Now they at[C]tacked New York [Em]City
cause [Dm]they thought they could [G]win
Said they [C]would, stand and [Em]fight
until the [Dm]very bloody [G]end
Mr. [C]Bush got on [Em]the phone
with I[Dm]raq and Ir[G]an and said
[C]"Now, you [Em]sons of bitches
you [Dm]better not be doing an[G]y business with
the [C]Taliban"[Em][Dm][G]
[C][Em][Dm][G]

[Verse 4]
So we [C]prayed to [Em]Allah [Dm]with all of our [G]might
Until [C]those big U.[Em]S. jets
came fly[Dm]ing in one n[G]ight
They [C]dropped little [Em]bombs
all over [Dm]their ho[G]ly land
And [C]man you should have [Em]seen them run
like [Dm]rabbits, they [G]ran
The [C]Taliban[Em][Dm][G]

[Chorus 2]
You know [F]someday soon
we're both going to [G]saddle up and it'll [C]be
Ride [G]Camel [Am]ride
My old [F]lady she'll be here with [G]me,
just smiling [C]right by my [Gm]side[C]
We should [F]do just fine
out a[G]round Palestine or may[C]be
Turk[G]meni[Am]stan
We'll bid a [Dm]fair adieu and flip
a cou[G]ple fingers to
[C]the [Em]Taliban[Dm][G]
We'll bid a [Dm]fair adieu and give [G]big boner to
[C]the Taliba[Em]n[Dm][G]
[C][Em][Dm][G]
Tali[C]ban
