Ok, This is as close as I can figure... If anyone else wants to take a shot
and correct or completely tab or redo, be my guest!
Girl From The Wadi Hammamat - as perfomed by The Pogues
Fade in on B

Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
Em C Em C
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat

Lovely as a green parakeet

Em C Em C
I awake alone again
Em C Em C
In the desert of my dreams
Em C B B C
A fertile oasis I have seen
B B C
CHORUS
Em C Em C Em C Em C
I cast my voice to the burning winds
Em C Em C Em C Em
Across the dunes Khamsin Khamsin
Em C Em C Em C Em C
Bring her to me on desire's wings
Em C B B C
On the burning desert wind
B B C
Arabic riff.... A B-scale? Too tough for me to tab out :p
She means the world to me
In a single grain of sand
Bring a camel to this man
Perched on a bough her tresses hang down
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
She is as sweet as a green parakeet
CHORUS
Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
