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

 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.
