Am(no3rd) Asus4  (repeated riff)
As the sun rises in the east, as the wind blows the fog across the sea
Fmaj7     F6    Fmaj7     F6                     C6 C6/9  C9 C6/9  C6

Caught in a web of glamours, Persian perfume and oriental eyes

Master sublime and swami high

Through in some Voodoo on the side
      Gm          F           C  Bb
And a dash of the old Kung Fu
A7              D7

You've got to ask the Man who owns the Property

Ya gotta dance your dance and do your act

      Guru Maharaji, Reverend Sun Myung Moon 	E9-5

On the banks of the Holy Nile
As the palm tree sways at the base of the sphinx
'Neath a crescent desert moon many thousands younger than ours
In fact, forget about time completely
Think of the swaying tropic trees
One of your many destinies
Like having a hot peyote tea
In the palace of Fu Manchu
Lord you got me strung out on eastern intrigue
Sell your wife and pawn your heater
Buy the new Bhagavad Gita
Do the pranayama 'til your spine gets sore
I'll tell you for free
'Cause God told me
We checked it with the Pope and so we all agree
I'm on my knees, one question please
Will the real God please sit down?
