Abdul and Cleopatra 		Jonathan richman


(capo 1)

Abdul's [Em] not seen Cleo[D]patra
It's been [C] almost now a [D] year.
How I [Em] wonder where she's [D] at-ra
And I [C] wish the old girl were [D] here.
Abdul [C] yearns for Cleo[D]patra in the [C] early morning [D] sun.
[C] Abdul loves [D] Cleopatra, [C] she's still the [G] one.

You know, I [Em] love Cleo[D]patra.
I'm just [C] grateful that I know that old [D] girl.
Even though I [Em] wonder where she's [D] at-ra
As I [C] wander through this [D] world.
And Abdul [C] yearns for Cleo[D]patra, Abdul [C] takes her or takes [D] none.
[C] Abdul loves [D] Cleopatra, [C] she's still the [G] one.

All right, Leroy, tell them...

[Em] Well, Cleopatra, take my patience and test it.
Cleopatra, take your time as ye may.
My time has been well-spent,
I done cleaned up my tent.
You'll like it when you see it some[Bm]day.

I will [Em] wait for Cleo[D]patra
For I [C] know my time must [D] come,
And I'm gettin' [Em] ready for wherever she'll be [D] at-ra,
Cause I'm gettin' [C] stronger now and not so [D] dumb.
Abdul [C] yearns for Cleo[D]patra in the [C] early desert [D] sun.
[C] I love [D] Cleopatra, [C] she's still the [G] one.
[C] I love [D] Cleopatra, [C] she's still the [G] one.
[C] I love [D] Cleopatra, [C] she's still the [G] one.
[C] I love [D] Cleopatra, [C] she's still the [G] one.
[C] Abdul loves [D] Cleopatra, [C] she's still the [G] one.
[C] I love [D] Cleopatra, [C] she's still the [G] one.
Abdul and Cleopatra
