[Gb] This [Fm] next song though, [Eb] this is the work of a very [C] different [Fm] kind of songwriter, [G] a gentleman
by the name of Nigel [B] Tufnell.
[F] [Gb] This [Bb] is [Gb] from [Bb] a solo project of Nigel's, I guess [A] you'd say it's from Nigel's middle period.
[E] [Bb] Kind of [Gbm] from his later blue [Eb] period, I think most curators [Ab] agree.
Lower left middle [Fm] blue period.
With [Bb] traces [Gb] of teal.
[G] [Ebm] This [Bb] song that Nigel wrote [G] was originally [Db] entitled Calm [D] Caravan.
That was the [F] [Gb] name of [F] the song.
But when it landed on the record [G] jacket it said Clam [Fm] Caravan.
[C] It [Bb] was a typo.
It was a [Ab] typo.
I [A] don't think [Db] Nigel noticed actually.
[F] [Gb] Or said [F] anything or cared.
[Gb] Well he was a [F] typo.
Don't be so negative.

Hills of [C] sand.
It's always [Em] a certain sight I'll [F] have to ride through the [Am] night.
[Bb] I'm to make [F] Baghdad by light [A] of dawn.
[Em]
Sun's not your friend [Am] in the desert [Em] like he is at home.

The wind has a name [Am] in the desert.
Jericho.
But it's [E] barely known.
[Em]
Rarely known.
[C] It's only the [Em] hardiest bloom that [F] can blossom in darkest [Am] cartoon.
