[Verse]
F
Chalk in the riverbed
C F
Was deposited by the ocean as it boiled off
F
Encased in calcium carbonate
C
We could drown or we could solder
F
I climbed the ranks of militiamen
C F
And the Sadrites, and my parents felt a cautious pride
F
And disregarded Shari'a Law
C
And put the Tigris in a trench now
[Pre-Chorus]
Fsus2 Am7
Give us rain, give us rain, give us rain, give us rain,
G
Give us rain, give us rain, send us water
Fsus2 Am7
Send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks,
G
Send us trucks, send us tanks, send us IEDs
Fsus2 Am7
Send us planes, send us planes, send us planes, send us planes,
G
Send us planes, send us planes, is the sky clear enough?
Fsus2 Am7 G
Send us dust storms, woah-
[Chorus]
F C
Allahu Akbar
[Verse]
F
The sand has lowered the vitamin
C F
Saturation point, put a straw under the bridge and suck
F
We made a pact with the Arakeen
C
And we built ourselves a filter
F
The city hydro's undrinkable
C F
Shattered cinderblocks are their favorite things to talk about
F
We saw your face in the Guardian
C
And it raised the circulation
[Pre-Chorus]
Fsus2
Send us rain, please transmit
Am7
Please receive our dumb prayers,
G
Telepath, send a flood, send us an avalanche
Fsus2 Am7
Send us cold, send us ice, send us meteorites
G
Send us snow, send us hail, send us high speed rail
Fsus2 Am7
We can pay, we should pay, we will pay, we insist
G
No defaults but we must get down to Chechnya
Fsus2 Am7
We defend, we fight back, we plant bombs under tracks
G
We skip church, all the monotheists
[Chorus]

And the astronomers sang

"Allahu Akbar!"

God is greatest!
G F
"Allahu Akbar!"
