Em C Set the cheetahs on the loose B Am There's a thief out on the move Em C Underneath our legion's view B Am They have taken Cleopatra Em Run run run come back for my glory (Cleopatra, Cleopatra) C Bring her back to me (Cleopatra, hey oh Patra ehh ehh Cleopatra) B Run run run the crown of our pharaoh (Cleopatra, Cleopatra) Am The throne of our queen is empty (Hey oh' Patra, Cleopatra)Em And we'll run to the future C Shining like diamonds in a rocky world A rocky, rocky world B Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere Am As we march to the rhythm On the palace floor Em Chandeliers inside the pyramid C Tremble from the force B Cymbals crash inside the pyramid Am Voices fill up the hallshide this tabRiff x2: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------2------------------------------------------------------| D|----2----4----5-----------5----4----5----4----4----------------------------| A|------------------------------------3--------------------------------------| E|----0----------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------2------------------------------------------------------| D|----2----4----5-----------5----4----5----4----4----------------------------| A|----2-------------------------------0--------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|Verse: The jewel of Africa (Jewel) What good is a jewel that ain't still precious How could you run off on me? How could you run off on us? You feel like God inside that gold I found you laying down with Samson And his full head of hair Found my black queen Cleopatra Bad dreams Cleopatra Remove her Send the cheetahs to the tomb Our war is over, our queen has met her doom No more she lives, no more serpent in her room No more, it has killed Cleopatra, CleopatraEm C Set the cheetahs on the loose B Am There's a thief out on the move Em C Underneath our legion's view B Am They have taken CleopatraG Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds G/F# Em Wake up to your girl for now let's call her Cleopatra, Cleopatra I watch you fix your hair G Then put your panties on in the mirror, Cleopatra G/F# Then your lipstick, Cleopatra Then your six inch heels Em Catch her She's headed to the pyramid G She's working at the pyramid tonight G/F# Working at the pyramid Em Working at the pyramid tonight G She's working at the pyramid tonight G/F# Working at the pyramid Em Working at the pyramid tonight Working at the pyramid G She's working at the pyramid tonight G/F# Working at the pyramid Em Working at the pyramid tonight G Pimping in my convos G/F# Bubbles in my champagne Let it be some jazz playing Em Top floor motel suite, twisting my cigars Floor model TV with the VCR G Got rubies in my damn chain G/F# Whip ain't got no gas tank But it still got woodgrain Em Got your girl working for me Hit the strip and my bills paid G That keep my bills paid G/F# Hit the strip and my bills paid Em Keep a nigga bills paid She's working at the pyramid tonight Working at the pyramid Working at the pyramid tonight Working at the pyramid Working at the pyramid tonight Working at the pyramid Working at the pyramid tonight Working at the pyramid You showed up after work I'm bathing your body Touch you in places only I know You're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater Can we make love before you go The way you say my name makes me feel like I'm that nigga But I'm still unimplored You say it's big but you take it Ride cowgirl But your love ain't free no more, baby But your love ain't free no more She's working at the pyramid tonight Working at the pyramid Working at the pyramid tonight Working at the pyramid That's right Working at the pyramid tonight Working at the pyramid Working at the pyramid tonight Working at the pyramid Working at the pyramid tonighthide this tabRiff x4: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------2------------------------------------------------------| D|----2----4----5-----------5----4----5----4----4----------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------3---------------------------------| E|----0----------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------2------------------------------------------------------| D|----2----4----5-----------5----4----5----4----4----------------------------| A|----2------------------------------------0---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
