[Verse 1]
G *
     Looking at the world...

            Dm7                    Dm9
Through the sunset in your eyes,

G *                            Dm7
   Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies,

Em
Ducks, and pigs, and chickens call,

A
Animal carpet wall-to-wall,

   C                                D  Dsus4  D Dsus2
A- merican ladies five foot tall in blue
[Verse 2]
G *                            Dm7               Dm9
     Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind,

G *                      Dm7
     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   Dsus4  D  Dsus2
Listen not to what's been said to you
[Chorus 1]

    Wouldn't you know...

      G             Am             G
We're riding on the Marrakesh Ex - press,

C
    Wouldn't you know...

      G      G/F#   Em7            A
We're riding on the Marrakesh Ex - press,

               C     D       G
They're taking me to Marra - kesh,

       Dm9            G *     G5  G *
All on board----- the train,

       Dm9            G *     G5  G *
All on board----- the train!
[Bridge]
Bm
    I've been saving all my...

G
Money just to take you there,

G/F#  E                             C      N.C.
         I smell the garden in your hair--------!
[Verse 3]
G *                          Dm7                 Dm9
   Take the train from Casa- blanca, going south,

G *
    Blowing smoke rings from the...

Dm7
Corners of my m-m - m-m -mouth,

Em
Coloured cottons hang in the air,

A
Charming cobras in the square,

C                                D       Dsus4
Striped djellebas we can wear at home,

D                Dsus2
    Well, let me hear you now!
[Chorus 2]
C
    Wouldn't you know...
