Allahu Akbar Guitar Chords Emperor X

[Intro]
A E

[Verse]
A
Chalk in the riverbed
E A
Was deposited by the ocean as it boiled off
A
Encased in calcium carbonate
E
We could drown or we could solder
A
I climbed the ranks of militiamen
E A
And the Sadrites, and my parents felt a cautious pride
A
And disregarded Shari’a Law
E
And put the Tigris in a trench now

[Pre-Chorus]
Asus2 C#m7
Give us rain, give us rain, give us rain, give us rain,
B
Give us rain, give us rain, send us water
Asus2 C#m7
Send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks,
B
Send us trucks, send us tanks, send us IEDs
Asus2 C#m7
Send us planes, send us planes, send us planes, send us planes,
B
Send us planes, send us planes, is the sky clear enough?
Asus2 C#m7 B
Send us dust storms, woah-

[Chorus]
A E
Allahu Akbar

[Verse]
A
The sand has lowered the vitamin
E A
Saturation point, put a straw under the bridge and suck
A
We made a pact with the Arakeen
E
And we built ourselves a filter
A
The city hydro’s undrinkable
E A
Shattered cinderblocks are their favorite things to talk about
A
We saw your face in the Guardian
E
And it raised the circulation

[Pre-Chorus]
Asus2
Send us rain, please transmit
C#m7
Please receive our dumb prayers,
B
Telepath, send a flood, send us an avalanche
Asus2 C#m7
Send us cold, send us ice, send us meteorites
B
Send us snow, send us hail, send us high speed rail
Asus2 C#m7
We can pay, we should pay, we will pay, we insist
B
No defaults but we must get down to Chechnya
Asus2 C#m7
We defend, we fight back, we plant bombs under tracks
B
We skip church, all the monotheists

[Chorus]
A E
Sing: “Allahu Akbar!”

A
And the Inuit sang
C#m
And the Zionists sang:
B A
“Allahu Akbar!”

A
And the economists sang
A
And the astronomers sang
C#m
And the anarchists sang:
B A
“Allahu Akbar!”

A
God is greatest!
A
God is greatest!
C#m
God is greatest!
B A
“Allahu Akbar!”
