Marrakech / New Model Army
Each verse: DEmBmGEm They found us in the courtyard at our table in the shade DAEmG We toasted our last few moments and then the end came DEmBmGEm They took us back to the airstrip, in a beaten up old car DAEmG And we rattled avross the African scrubland in silence EGEG Our hands locked together in cold steel cuffs EG Sometimes I wish it was still that way...
Bridge: DAB2

Remark: B2 is equivalent to Bm with the little finger not being used. The complete lyrics you find on the album "Impurity" by NMA.
