[A] By the [Gm] sea of Sarcophagus [Eb] I wandered one night, the [Ab] moon it was [Eb] shining quite clear.
[A] For no reason [Eb] at all I heard someone call for Abdullah Bulbul of Ere.
[F] Now [Bb] Abdullah Bulbul [Eb] I knew to be dead, the story [Ab] had spread [Eb] near and far.
[A] How'd he [Eb] lost his life while quaffing his last drink?
He was plunging his knife into Ivan Skaminski's cigar.
[Gm] As I pondered the [Eb] moonbeams descend quite low, [Ab] casting shadows from [Eb] mostly and then.
[A] I discovered [Gm] that [Eb] I was standing close by the tombs of these two famous men.
[A] Then in [Bb] the tomb's shadow [Eb] there rose from the grave the form [Ab] of a Russian [Eb] Hussar.
And [A] my skin [Gm] nearly peeled [Cm] as he stood there revealed [Eb] it was Ivan Skaminski.
[F] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm] [Eb]
[A] Was he who [Gm] was calling [Eb] I hardly dared breathe, my heart most [Ab] upset in [Eb] one fear.
[F] When out [Bb] of the grave [Cm] in need of a chair [Eb] arose Abdullah Bulbul of Ere.
[A] Would speak with [Gm] me Ivan, [Eb] for Abdullah quite low, I would [Ab] strip Ivan [Eb] quite clear.
[A] That quorum [Ab] we had it [Cm] was all to the fabulous [Eb] friend Abdullah Bulbul of Ere.
[A] I've lain here [Bb] for ages [Eb] with that on my mind and that's why [Ab] I called [Eb] you tonight.
While I'm [Bb] in the same state, [Cm] for Abdullah the great [Eb] was foolish [Gm] and weak to [Eb] fight.
[A] Oh the friend thou [Gm] art blameless [Eb] cried Ivan in haste, the fault [Ab] lie in mine [Eb] hands alone.
[A] But Abdullah [Eb] said nay it was [Cm] never that way, [Eb] the fault was no one's but mine own.
[F] [Bb]
[Cm] [Eb]
[A] Well does think [Gm] I'm a coward [Eb] said Ivan Skaminski, step forth and [Ab] I'll slice off [Eb] thine ear.
[Dm] Oh son [Bb] of a cat [Cm] you'll never do that [Eb] for that Abdullah Bulbul of Ere.
[F] Then once [Bb] more they saddled [Eb] and fought as before and [Ab] multitudes came [Eb] from afar.
[F] And lauded [Bb] with cheers [Eb] these bold buccaneers, this perch and this rising huzzah.
[Dm] The ghost [Eb] of the Tsar on fiery black steed it came rushing [Ab] to witness [Eb] the prey.
While the Sultan sat there in his royal gold chair, was just like seen from a play.
[F] Was just [Gm] at that moment [Eb] each sword found its mark and I [Ab] heard a blood [Eb] curdling scream.
[A] Then came [Gm] the [Cm] surprise for I opened my [Eb] eyes and found it was only a dream.
