(Am) My sisters and I (C) Have one wish before we die (G) And it may sound strange (Em) As if our minds are deranged
Please don't ask us why Beneath the sheltering sky We have this strange obsession You have the means in your possession
CHORUS 1: (CHORUS 2 repeats these lines 4 times instead of two) (G)..................(Cadd9) Tea in the Sahara, with you (G)..................(Cadd9) Tea in the Sahara, with you
A young man agreed He would satisfy their need So they danced for his pleasure With a joy you could not measure They'd wait for him here The same place every year Beneath the sheltering sky Across the desert he would fly
CHORUS 2
The sky turned to black Would he ever come back They would climb a high dune They would pray to the moon But he never returned So the sisters would burn As their eyes searched the night With their cups still full of sand
