We rode in the morning,
                      G 
Casablanca to the west
         Dm               C 
On the Atlas mountain foothills
        G                Am 
leading down to Marrakesh

G      C 
For Mohammed and Morocco,
                    G 
we had taken up our guns
        Dm            C 
For the ashes of our fathers
        G               Am 
and the children of our sons
        Dm           C 
For the ashes of our fathers
             G7             C 
and the children of our sons
 
[Verse]
       C 
In the dry winds of summer,
                             G 
we were sharpening the blades
          Dm      C 
We were riding to act upon the 
G                  Am 
promise we had made

G        C 
With the fist and the dagger,
                            G 
with the rifle and the lance
        Dm          C 
We will suffer no intrusion from the 
  G          Am 
infidels of France
        Dm           C 
We will suffer no intrusion from the 
  G7        C       |%   | 
infidels of France

Though they were waiting
                           C 
and they were fifty to our ten
          Bb        F 
They were easily outnumbered
     C                Dm    | 
by a smaller force of men   
 
       F 
As the darkness was falling
                         C 
they were soon to realise
        Bb             F 
We were going to relieve them
         C            Dm 
of their God forsaken lives
        Bb             F 
We were going to relieve them
