[Verse]
G Dm
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
G Dm
Travelling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Em
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
A
Animal carpet wall to wall
C D
American ladies five-foot tall in blue
G Dm
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
G Dm
had to get away to see what we could find
Em
Hope the days that lie ahead
A
Bring us back to where they've led
C D
Listen not to what's been said to you
[Chorus]
C G Am G
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakech Express
C G Em A
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakech Express
C D G
they’re taking me to Marrakech
All aboard the train all aboard the train
[Bridge]
Bm G
I've been saving all my money just to take you there
E C
I smell the garden in your hair
[Verse]
G Dm
Take the train from Casablanca going south
G Dm
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth
Em
Coloured cottons hang in the air
A
Charming cobras in the square
C D
Striped djellebas we can wear at home Well, let me hear you now
[Chorus] (x2)
C G Am G
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakech Express
C G Em A
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakech Express
C D G
they’re taking me to Marrakech
All aboard the train all aboard the train
