Gm Db Oh, imagine a land, it's a far away place Cm Gm Where the caravan camels roam Bbm Cm Where you wander among every culture and tongue D7 Gm It's chaotic but hey, it's home Eb Gm When the wind's from the east and the sun's from the west Eb D7sus4 And the sand in the glass is right D7 Gm A Come on down, stop on by, hop a carpet and fly D7 Gm To another Arabian night... Gm A/G As you wind through the streets at the fabled bazaars D7/F# Gm With the cardamom-cluttered stalls Bbm C/Bb You can smell every spice while you haggle the price D7(9b) Gm Of the silks and the satin shawls Em Gm Oh, the music that plays as you move through a maze Eb D7sus4 D7 In the haze of your pure delight Gm A You are caught in a dance, you are lost in the trance D7 Gm Of another arabian night... Gm Bbm Gm Bbm Arabian nights like arabian days Em Bm Em More often than not, are hotter than hot C7 B In a lot of good ways Em Gm Em Gm Arabian nights Like Arabian dreams Gm Dm Gm This mystical land of magic and sand Eb D Is more than it seems Eb There's a road that may lead you to good or to greed through Gm The power your wishing commands Eb Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold Gm Eb D7 Well, your destiny lies in your hands Only one may enter here... One whose worth lies far within, A diamond in the rough! Em Gm Em Gm Arabian nights Like Arabian days Em Bm Em They seem to excite, take off and take flight C7 B To shock and amaze Gm Bbm Arabian nights Gm Bbm 'Neath Arabian moons Gm Dm7 Gm A fool of his guard, could fall and fall hard Eb D7 Gm Out there on the dunes
