You’re the Queen of the Nile
And you love me, complete and complicitly without caution or guile
You’re my Queen of the Nile
Em Em6 Em7 Em6 Em Em6 Em7 D

You’re my Queen of the Nile
You and me the model of constancy free from defile
You’re my Queen of the Nile
Rise or fall you will make it all worthwhile
