[Verse]
Gb
Chalk in the riverbed
C# Gb
Was deposited by the ocean as it boiled off
Gb
Encased in calcium carbonate
C#
We could drown or we could solder
Gb
I climbed the ranks of militiamen
C# Gb
And the Sadrites, and my parents felt a cautious pride
Gb
And disregarded Shari'a Law
C#
And put the Tigris in a trench now
[Pre-Chorus]
Gbsus2 A#m7
Give us rain, give us rain, give us rain, give us rain,
G#
Give us rain, give us rain, send us water
Gbsus2 A#m7
Send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks,
G#
Send us trucks, send us tanks, send us IEDs
Gbsus2 A#m7
Send us planes, send us planes, send us planes, send us planes,
G#
Send us planes, send us planes, is the sky clear enough?
Gbsus2 A#m7 G#
Send us dust storms, woah-
[Chorus]

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

Send us rain, please transmit

Please receive our dumb prayers,

Telepath, send a flood, send us an avalanche
Gbsus2 A#m7
Send us cold, send us ice, send us meteorites
G#
Send us snow, send us hail, send us high speed rail
Gbsus2 A#m7
We can pay, we should pay, we will pay, we insist
G#
No defaults but we must get down to Chechnya
Gbsus2 A#m7
We defend, we fight back, we plant bombs under tracks
G#
We skip church, all the monotheists
[Chorus]

"Allahu Akbar!"

"Allahu Akbar!"

"Allahu Akbar!"
