G                                             Dm
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes

Travelling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Em
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
A
Animal carpet wall to wall
C                                 Dm
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

Bring us back to where they've led
C                                 D

C                         G           Am          G

E                           C
I smell the garden in your hair


Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth
Coloured cottons hang in the air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped djellebas we can wear at home Well, let me hear you now


Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakech Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakech Express
They're taking me to Marrakech

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakech Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakech Express
They're taking me to Marrakech
All on board the train, all on board the train
All on board
