Well I?m just a middle aged middle eastern camel herdin? man 
       F          A6           G6           C6 
I got a 2 bedroom cave here in north Afganistan 
       F               A6             G6         C6 
Things used to be real cool then they got out of hand 
    F             A6 G6 C6      F   A6      G6      C6  
When they moved in, .......they call themselves the Taliban 
F    A6   G6 C6        F      A6   G6   C6    
(ooo-ooo-ooo yea, )the Taliban 
 
(Same chords as above verses) 
Now, I ain?t seen my wife?s face since they came here 
They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear 
She loves the desert and the hot white sand 
But man she?s just like me, naw she can?t stand the Taliban 
(ooo-Taliban baby) 
 
Chorus: 
         Bb                            C 
You know someday soon we?re both gonna saddle up 
             F     Am     Dm  
And it?ll be ride, camel, ride 
       Bb                  C               F           F7 
My old lady she?ll be here with me smilin? right by my side 
          Bb                   C                  F    Am   Dm 
We should do just fine down in Palestine or maybe Turkministan 
            Bb                      C             F 
We?ll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban 
 
(go back to verse chords here) 
Oh oh yea the Taliban, baby 
 
Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win 
Said they would stand and fight until the very bloody end 
Well, Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said 
Now you knuckleheads better not be doin? business with the Taliban 
 
So we prayed to Allah with all of our might 
And then those big US jets came flyin? in one night 
They dropped little bombs all over our holy land 
And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran, the Taliban 
 
Chorus 
 
We?ll bid a fair adieu and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban

The chord names may not be correct but the shapes are right. 
When you are playing the intro and the verses you should 
Fingerpick with a bass note first then pluck the bottom 
strings all at the same time (listen the the song and you will  
hear what I am referring to:
