Judy Collins – Morocco (Guitar)

  C                            F
I dreamed that I saw you once, down in Morocco

     C                             F
Your clothes were so old they were new

    C                     F
You spoke to the Bedouins in their own language

   C                      F
Of silver and crimson and blue

     Am                         C
They said that your singing had altered their vision

    F                      G
And yet nothing really had changed

    Dm                        F
The dust from the desert rose up from your eyelids

    C                          G
You said you had conquered the chains

    C                        F
The white wind around us, as we stood there talking

    C                          F
Was blowing the stars from the sky

  C                        F
I said make the beauty you made long ago

        C                           F
And the dervishes whirled while you cried

           Am                       C
You said, "Hold me against you, the weather is calling

   F                     G
My mind is the colour of stone"

    Dm            C           F
And I wrapped the green silk around your thin body

    C                         G
And knew you would never come home

    F            G           C           Am
The wind and the sky and the sun in your eyes

    F           C            G
Was driving you mad, I could see

    Dm     C           F
And in any language, I knew they were saying

    C                    G
The future is cutting us free

   C                          F
We walked in the desert, your hands were like velvet

    C                        F
You told me the reason you’d stayed

    C                      F
And all of the women whose hearts had been broken

      C                     F
Stood naked and cool in the shade

    Am                      C
The men in the village were called to their worship

      F                      G
Their colours had started to fade

    Dm         C          F
The shelter of heaven had lifted forever

      C                         G
Their eyes turned the colour of jade

    F            G           C           Am
The wind and the sky and the sun in your eyes

    F           C            G
Was driving you mad, I could see

    Dm     C           F
And in any language, I knew they were saying

    C                     G
The future was cutting us free

  C                       F
I left to fly back to the place I was sleeping

      C                         F
Where all of my dreams had been lost

C                             F
I wrote your name down on the back of a postcard

    C                     F
And finally I counted the cost

    Am                     C
The demons and devils, the saints and the angels

    F                       G
Had gathered to show me the view

    Dm         C              F
And all of the tears that had come when I met you

     C                           G
Were shining and bright like the dew

    F            G            C         Am
The wind and the moon and the sun in my eyes

    F          C            G
Was driving me mad, I could see

    Dm     C           F
And in any language, I knew they were saying

    C                     G
The future was cutting us free
