intro: B G B G#m B G B verses: G F#m B Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif G A F#m G Came floating on a jasmine wind C A From the west, from the south B Honey in my ears F F#m Spice in my mouth. B G Dark and thrilling,
F#m B Strange and sweet G A F G Cleopatra and the handsome thief Em A D G And they floated in on a jasmine wind C D#m B Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif Em A D G And they floated in on a jasmine wind C D#m B Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif B G F#m B Friday evening, Omar Sharif, G A D G In black and white and blurry through tears. C A My mother and I would sit there in a trace B F He was cool to the marrow, the pharaoh of romance B G Sunday morning, F#m B Umm Kulthum G A F#m G Her voice would fill our living room. Em A D G The ship from Egypt always came D#m F Sailing in on the radio waves Em A D G And the jasmine wind, deep perfume C D#m B Umm Kulthum A And the living room becomes a garden, C And the TV set becomes a fountain, D#m Em And the music flows in the garden F And everything grows C# Em G#m A Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif F#m B G#m A Came floating on a lemon leaf F#m B G#m A Flying in on a jasmine wind D G#m C# Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif F#m B G#m A And we dance with them on a jasmine scented wind, D G#m C# Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif.
