Standard (EADGBE)

Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes

Travelling the train through clear Moroccan skies

Ducks and pigs and chickens call

Animal carpet wall to wall

American ladies five-foot tall in blue

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind

had to get away to see what we could find

Hope the days that lie ahead

Bring us back to where they've led

Listen not to what's been said to you

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 aboard the train all aboard the train

I've been saving all my money just to take you there

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
