||:E///|B///|A/|E///:||

E_______B_______A__________E
Egypt I saw you on the television
E__________B____A____________E
I saw your name written on a wall
E__________B_______A________E
I saw your picture in a magazine

|E///|B///|A/|E///|

Egypt can I ask you to lend me your blue skies
And your greens verging on tenderness
I don't know you very well but I really like you

CHORUS
A B_________________________E
__Egypt I'm a gonna see you soon
A B_____________________________E
__I'm a gonna walk on your firm shores

|E///|B///|A/|E///|

Egypt won't you hold me like I held a map of you
I learnt your location from a travel brochure
Egypt I need your sophisticated silence

Repeat CHORUS

A B_____________________________________E
__Egypt won't you hold me in you desert sounds
A_______B______________________________________E
In your tanks and your sand - your interesting stones
