8-Bar Intro

Verse 1

O-VER THE DES-ERT WILD AND FREE
RIDES THE BOLD SHIEK OF AR-A-BY.
HIS A-RAB BAND, AT HIS COM-MAND,
FOL-LOW HIS LOVE'S CAR-A-VAN.
UN-DER THE SHAD-DOW OF THE PALMS
HE SINGS TO CALL HER TO HIS ARMS

Verse 2

WHILE STARS ARE FAD-ING IN THE DAWN,
O-VER THE DES-ERT THEY'LL BE GONE.
HIS CAP-TURED BRIDE CLOSE BY HIS SIDE
SWIFT AS THE WIND THEY WILL RIDE
PROUD-LY HE SCORNS HER SMILE OR TEAR
SOON HE WILL CON-QUER LOVE BY FEAR.

Chorus

I'M THE SHEIK OF AR-A-BY.
YOUR LOVE BE-LONGS TO ME.
AT NIGHT WHEN YOU'RE A-SLEEP
IN-TO YOUR TENT I'LL CREEP
THE STARS THAT SHINE A-BOVE
WILL LIGHT OUR WAY TO LOVE
YOU'LL RULE THIS LAND WITH ME,
THE SHEIK OF AR-A-BY
