E       B       A          E 
Egypt I saw you on the television 
E          B    A            E 
I saw your name written on a wall 
E          B       A        E 
I saw your picture in a magazine 
 

 
Egypt can I ask you to lend me your blue skies 
And your greens verging on tenderness 
I don't know you very well but I really like you 
 
CHORUS 
A B                         E 
  Egypt I'm a gonna see you soon 
A B                             E 
  I'm a gonna walk on your firm shores 
 
 
Egypt won't you hold me like I held a map of you 
I learnt your location from a travel brochure 
Egypt I need your sophisticated silence 
 
Repeat CHORUS 
 
A B                                     E 
  Egypt won't you hold me in you desert sounds 
A       B                                      E 
In your tanks and your sand - your interesting stones
