[Verse 1]
G/D Dm7 Dm9
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes,
G/D 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/D Dm7 Dm9
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind,
G/D 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]
C G Am G
Wouldn't you know, we're riding on the Marrakesh Ex - press,
C G G/F# Em7 A
Wouldn't you know, we're riding on the Marrakesh Ex - press,

They're taking me to Marra - kesh!

All on board----- the train,

All on board----- the train!
[Bridge]
Bm G
I've been saving all my money just to take you there,
G/F# E C
I smell the garden in your hair-----------!
[Verse 3]
G/D Dm7 Dm9
Take the train from Casa - blanca, going south,
G/D Dm7
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m-m m-m mouth,
Em A
Coloured cottons hang in the air, 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 G Am G
Wouldn't you know, we're riding on the Marrakesh Ex - press,
C G G/F# Em7 A

They're taking me to Marra - kesh!
[Chorus 3]
C G Am G
Wouldn't you know, we're riding on the Marrakesh Ex - press,

Wouldn't you know, we're riding on the Marrakesh Ex - press,

They're taking me to Marra - kesh!

All on board----- the train!
