G/DG/D                       Dm7Dm7        Dm9Dm9
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes,
G/DG/D                  Dm7Dm7       Dm9Dm9
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
E minorEm
Ducks, and pigs, and chickens call,

American ladies five-foot tall in blue.
G/DG/D                    Dm7Dm7      Dm9Dm9
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind,

Had to get away to see what we could find.
E minorEm
Hope the days that lie ahead

blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m m m m mouth.

Colored cottons hang in the air,
