The Gpapers lie there helplessly in a G9pile outside my door,
                                   C/GGo
I tried and tried, but I just can't remember what they're for.
The C/Gworld outside is tugging like a G6beggar at my sleeve,
                        G                 C/GGo
Oh that's much too old a story to believe.
____
And you Gmaj7know that it's taken it's C/Gshare of me,
                             Em       C/GGo
Even though you take such good care of me .
Gmaj7Now you say Morocco, and C/Gthat makes me smile,
                             Go
I haven't seen  Morocco in a long, long while.
____
The Gmaj7dreams are rolling down across the C/Gplaces in my mind,
                                       Go   C/G  Go
And I've just had a taste of something fine.
___
The future hides and the past just slides, England lies between,
Floating in a silver mist so cold and so clean.
California's shaking like an angry child will,
Who has asked for love and is unanswered still.
And you know that I'm looking back carefully,
Cause I know that there's still something there for me.
But you said Morocco, and that made me smile,
It hasn't been that easy for a long, long while,
And looking back into your eyes I saw them really shine,
Giving me a taste of something fine,
            Gmaj7     C/G     Gmaj7     Em     C/GGo
Something fine~~~~~~
____
Gmaj7Now if you see Morocco, I C/Gknow you'll go in style
                             Go
I may not see Morocco, for a little while.
And Gmaj7while you're there I was hoping you might C/Gkeep it in your mind,
                                     Go      C/GGo
to save me just a taste of something fine.
