The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian

Originally in B, I play in E capo 3

E

EAll the old paintings on the tombs

They do the sand dance don’t you know

If they move too quick (oh ay oh)

They’re falling down like a domino

EAll the bazaar men by the Nile

They got the money on a bet

Gold crocodiles (oh ay oh)

They snap their teeth on your cigarette

AForeign types with the hookah pipes say

Way oh ay oh, way oh ay oh

E

EThe blonde waitresses take their trays

They spin around and they cross the floor

They’ve got the moves (oh ay oh)

You drop your drink then they bring you more

EAll the school kids so sick of books

They like the punk and the metal band

When the buzzer rings (oh ay oh)

They’re walking like an Egyptian

AAll the kids in the marketplace say

Way oh ay oh, way oh ay oh

Solo

GE

GE

GG

With whistling

E

Drums only

ESlide your feet up the street bend your back

Shift your arm then you pull it back

Life is hard you know (oh ay oh)

So strike a pose on a Cadillac

Band enters

EIf you want to find all the cops

They’re hanging out in the donut shop

They sing and dance (oh ay oh)

They spin the club, cruise down the block

EAll the Japanese with their yen

The party boys call the Kremlin

And the Chinese know (oh ay oh)

They walk the line like Egyptian

AAll the cops in the doughnut shop say

Ay oh ay oh, ay oh ay oh

Way oh ay oh, way oh ay oh
