G/D Dm7 Dm9 G/D Dm7 Dm9
G/D Dm7 Dm9
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes,
G/D Dm7 Dm9
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Em
Ducks, and pigs, and chickens call,
A
animal carpet wall to wall
C D D6sus D7sus Dsus2 D
American ladies five-foot tall in blue.
G/D Dm7 Dm9
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind,
G/D Dm7 Dm9
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

I smell the garden in your hair.
G/D Dm7 Dm9
Take the train from Casablanca going south,
G/D Dm7 Dm9
blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth.
Em
Colored cottons hang in the air,
A
charming cobras in the square.
C D D6sus D7sus Dsus2 D
Striped djellebas we can wear at home. Well, let me hear ya now.
C G Am G
Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express.
