This is a simple and groovy song. Here's how I play it.





F (133211@1)  Dm (xx0231@1)(pause)                 FHere (133211@1)I sleep the morning through
                                Dm'Til (xx0231@1)the wail of the call to prayer awakes me
                                   FAnd (133211@1)there ain't nothing at all to do but rise and follow
                    DmThe (xx0231@1)day wherever it takes me

FI (133211@1)stand at the window and I look at the sea
DmAnd (xx0231@1)I am what I am, and what will be will be
FI (133211@1)stand at the window and I look at the sea
DmAnd (xx0231@1)I make me a pot of opium tea

(    p au (x02210@1)s e (022000@1))    FDown (133211@1)at the port I watch the boats come in
                              DmWatch (xx0231@1)the boats come in can do something to you
                            FAnd (133211@1)the kids gather around with an outstretched hand
                  DmAnd (xx0231@1)I toss them a dirham or two

FWell, (133211@1)I wonder if my children are thinking of me
DmCause (xx0231@1)I am what I am, and what will be will be
FI (133211@1)wonder if my kids are thinking of me
DmAnd (xx0231@1)I smile and I sip my opium tea

(pause)              FAt (133211@1)night the sea lashes the rust red ramparts
                          DmAnd (xx0231@1)the shapes of hooded men who pass me
                          FAnd (133211@1)the moan of the wind laughs and laughs and laughs
                          DmThe (xx0231@1)strange luck that fate has cast me

FWell, (133211@1)the cats on the rampart sing merrily
DmThat (xx0231@1)he is what he is and what will be will be
FYeah, (133211@1)the cats on the rampart sing merrily
DmAnd (xx0231@1)I sit and I drink of my opium tea

FI'm (133211@1)a prisoner here, I can never go home
                           DmThere (xx0231@1)is nothing here to win or lose
                   FThere (133211@1)are no choices needed to be made at all
                                    DmNot (xx0231@1)even the choice of having to choose

FWell, (133211@1)I'm a prisoner here, yes, but I'm also free
DmCause (xx0231@1)I am what I am and what will be will be
FI'm (133211@1)a prisoner here, yeah, but I'm also free
DmAnd (xx0231@1)I smile and I sip my opium tea.



Someone should figure out the melody bit, the part the organ plays after the choruses. 
Figure it out then post it, that'd be nifty.
