[Intro]
F#m F#m7 (x8)
[Verse 1]
F#m F#m7
My Sisters and I
Asus2
have one wish before we die
F#m F#m7
And it may sound strange
Asus2 Aadd9
as if our minds are deranged
F#m F#m7
Please don't ask us why,
Asus2
beneath the sheltering sky
F#m F#m7
We have this strange obsession
Asus2 Aadd9
You have the means in your possession
[Chorus 1]
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2
Tea in the Sahara with you
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2
Tea in the Sahara with you
[Verse 2]
F#m F#m7
The young man agreed.
Asus2
He would satisfy their need
F#m F#m7
So they danced for his pleasure
Asus2 Aadd9
with a joy you could not measure
F#m F#m7
They'd wait for him here
Asus2
the same place every year.
F#m F#m7
Beneath the sheltering sky
Asus2 Aadd9
across the desert he would fly
[Chorus 2]
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2
Tea in the Sahara with you,
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2
Tea in the Sahara with you.
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2
Tea in the Sahara with you,
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2 C#m7 C#m7add11 C#m7
Tea in the Sahara with you - oo - Oooooo.
C#m C#m7add11 C#m (x7)
[Verse 3]
F#m F#m7
The sky turned to black.
Asus2
Would he ever come back?
F#m F#m7
They would climb a high dune
Asus2 Aadd9
they would pray to the moon.
F#m F#m7
But he never returned
Asus2
so the sisters would burn
F#m F#m7
As their eyes searched the land
Asus2 Aadd9
with their cups still full of sand
[Chorus 3]
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2
Tea in the Sahara with you,
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2
Tea in the Sahara with you.
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2
Tea in the Sahara with you,
E E5 Aadd9 Asus2 C#m7 C#m7add11 C#m7
Tea in the Sahara with you - oo - Oooooo.
