[D] Far away from the city
There [C] lives a girl.
She draws water from the [D] sand.
[D] Under a lonesome palm tree
she [C] rests her body
and there she waits for her [D] man.
[D] He rides a camel thru the desert
and [C] dreams of cool water
an Oasis never close at hand.
[D] Oh will he ever find her?
His [C] Arabian princess
and will she lead him to the land?
A land of many sorrows
of Sun and Death, companion to the band.
The Desert will never Answer
Though tears we cry, so we get by the best we can...
[E] Ride across the desert on a thousand horses.
Swords flashing in the Sun so very proud.
Ride 'till the sun turns your tongue to ashes.
Drink deep of water drawn from 'neath the ground.
and she waits for him patiently...
under the palm tree...
She waits 'though she cannot tell you why... [2X]
