[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

[Verse 3]
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]
