Midnight at the oasis(Chords)

	        Dm7                G7 C7/9 Am7  
Midnight at the o - a - sis --  
 
Dm7                G7 C7/9 Bb9 
Send your camel to bed 
 
Dm7                   G7 C7/9  
Shadows paintin' our fa -ces, 
 
F7    Bb9    Em7     G/B      A7 
Tra - ces of romance in our heads. 
 
 
Dm7                 G7  C7/9 Am7 
Heaven's holdin' a half-moon 
 
Dm7              G7  C7/9 Bb9 
Shinin' just for us; 
 
Dm7                  G7 C7/9   F7   Bb9 
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon 
 
    Em7       G/B     A7 
And kick up a little dust. 
 
Cm7  F7   G#7          Gm7 
Come on, Cactus is our friend; 
 
Cm7         F7         G#7    Gm7 
He'll point us out the way. 
 
Cm7  F7   G#7             Gm7 
Come on, till the evenin' ends, 
 
C7/9     Bb9      Dm7 
Till the evenin' ends. 

 Dm7               G7   C7/9  Am7 
You don't have to an - swer -- 
 
Dm7                 G7  C7/9 Bb9 
There's no need to speak 
 
Dm7                 G7   C7/9  F7    Bb9 
I'll be your belly dan - cer, pran - cer, 
 
    Em7    G/B     A7 
And you can be my sheik. 
 
 
 
(Instrumental Interlude - 1 Verse & 1 Refrain) 
 
 
Dm7                    G7 C7/9  Am7 
I know your Daddy's a sul -tan, 
 
  Dm7    G7     C7/9  Bb9 
A nomad known to all, 
 
     Dm7              G7  C7/9           F7   Bb9 
With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him, 
 
    Em7      G/B      A7 
Jump at his beck and call. 
 
 
    Dm7               G7     C7/9  Am7 
But you won't need no harem, honey, 
 
    Dm7   G7     C7/9  Bb9 
When I am by your side; 
 
   Dm7                G7  C7/9  F7  Bb9 
And you won't need no cam - el, no  no, 
 
       Em7      G/B    A7 
When I take you for a ride. 
 
 
 
Repeat Refrain: 
 
 
 
 Dm7                G7 C7/9 Am7 
Midnight at the o - a - sis --  
 
Dm7       G7       C7/9   Bb9 
Send your camel to bed; 
 
    Dm7                  G7  C7/9   
Got shadows paintin' our fa - ces, 
 
     F7   Bb9    Em7    G/B      A7 
And tra - ces of romance in our heads.
