   F#m
My Sisters and I
          A
Have one wish before we die
       F#m
And it may sound strange
           A
As if our minds are deranged
       F#m
Please don't ask us why,
             A
Beneath the sheltering sky
              F#m
We have this strange obsession
              A
You have the means in your possession

Chorus:
E                  A      B
Tea in the Sahara with you
E                  A      B
Tea in the Sahara with you

The young man agreed
He would satisfy their need
So they danced for his pleasure
With a joy you could not measure
They wait for him here
The same place every year
Beneath the sheltering sky
Across the desert he would fly

Chorus - x2

The sky turned to black
Would he ever come back?
They would climb a high dune
They would pray to the moon
But he'd never return
So the sisters would burn
As their eyes searched the land
With their cups still full of sand

Chorus - x2
