           C                   Dm
I'm gonna go where the desert sun is
Em                  Dm
Go where I know the fun is
C                 Dm
Go where the harem girls dance
Em                       Dm
Go where there's love and romance
F
Out on the burning sands
A#7
In some caravan
Cmaj7                        A
I'll find adventure while I can
   Dm7                G      G           Cm C
To say the least, go on, go east, young man

Chorus:
   Fm                            Cmaj7
Go east young man, go east young man
G7sus4              G7                 Cmaj7
You'll feel like a sheik, so rich and grand
      Fm                     Cmaj7
With dancing girls at your command
G7sus4                G7                  Cmaj7
Go eat and drink and feast, go east, young man

I'm gonna go where the night's enchanted
Go where those dreams are granted
When paradise starts calling
Into some tent I'm crawling
I hear those desert drums
And when nighttime comes
Then I'll make love the way I planned
To say the least, go on, go east, young man

Chorus

G7sus4                G7                  Cmaj7
Go eat and drink and feast, go east, young man
