The Ride To Agadir Chords by Mike Batt

_ _ _ _ _ We rode in the morning, _ _ Casablanca to the west,
_ On the Atlas mountain foothills leading down to Marrakesh.
_ For Mohammed and Morocco, _ _ we had [G] taken up our guns,
[N] For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
In _ _ _ the [Em] dry winds of summer, _ we were sharpening the blades,
_ We were riding to [N] act upon the promise we had made.
_ With the fist and the dagger, _ with the rifle and the lance,
_ We will suffer no intrusion from the infidels of France.
