B S S S - B S S S pattern
[Vamp]
[A] x 2
[Verse 1]
[A] All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don'tcha know?
If they move too quick (Oh-way-oh)
They're falling down like a dominoa
[A] All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (Oh-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
[D] Foreign types with their hookah pipes sing:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo... (stop full drums - strummy pattern)
[A] Walk like an Egyptian
[Vamp]
[A] x 2
[Verse 2]
[A] The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (Oh-way-oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more
[A] All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (Oh-way-oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
[D] All the kids in the marketplace say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo... (stop full drums - strummy pattern)
[A] Walk like an Egyptian
[Instrumental]
[C] [A] x3 - hold on [C] last time
[Vamp with whistling]
[A] x 2
[Verse 3 - Just drums no chords]
[A] Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life's hard you know (Oh-way-oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
[Chords back in]
[A] If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (Oh-way-oh)
They spin their clubs, cruise down the block
[A] All the Japanese with their Yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (Oh-way-oh)
They walk the line like Egyptians
[D] All the cops in the donut shop say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...
(stop full drums - strummy pattern)
[A] Walk like an Egyptian
[A] Walk like an Egyptian
[Vamp]
[A]
