(Difford/Tilbrook) From the 1980 studio album, Argy Bargy. [Intro] Am | A G | G | G | F G [Verse 1]

G
Hitched a hiker up above the border

G
She'd spent some time in Morocco and Gibraltar

A#
And stole my wallet with a picture of my missus

Dm
With fond remembrance of everything with kisses

[Chorus]

         C       F           C
From the Isle of Dogs to the Egyptian sands

          F             G
Where the Arabs chew on dates

      Am
And I haven't forgot what it's like to be

           Dm              G
With misad-venture and her mates

                     Am
Misadventure and her mates

F G | F G | F G | F G [Verse 2]

G
I miss the East End high up on the Khyber

G
And I'm the target for a dozen rebel snipers

A#
It's not so bad though, with some beers in the freezer

Dm
And something fancy in the air-conditioned sleeper

[Chorus]

         C       F           C
From the Isle of Dogs to the Egyptian sands

          F             G
Where the Arabs chew on dates

      Am
And I haven't forgot what it's like to be

         Dm                G
With mis-adventure and her mates

                     Am    A
Misadventure and her mates

G
I'm moving carpets through the customs at Dover

G
Thinking my journey was going to be over

A#
Then they discovered a shipment of Moroccan

Dm
And said excuse me sir, there's something you've forgotten

[Chorus]

         C       F           C
From the Isle of Dogs to the Egyptian sands

          F             G
Where the Arabs chew on dates

      Am
And I haven't forgot what it's like to be

           Dm                G
With misad-venture and her mates

                        A
Behind prison walls and gates

[Outro] G | G | G | G [x5] A# | F | C | G
