The Ride To Agadir

   C
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

We were going to relieve them
