Marrakesh Night Market Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Loreena Mckennitt
[Intro]
Gm D (x5)
(Two hummings there beginning on the Gm)
 
 
[Verse]
                    Gm D
They're gathered in circles
                      Gm D
The lamps light their faces
             Gm                D
The crescent moon rocks in the sky
             Gm  D
The poets of drumming
                   Gm D
Keep heartbeats suspended
                 Gm             D
The smoke swirls up and then it dies
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm
    Would you like my mask?
D
    Would you like the mirror?
Gm                                 D
    Cries the man in the shadowing hood
                    Gm   D
You can look at yourself
                     Gm D
You can look at each other
                    Gm                     D
You can look at the face, the face of your god
 
 
[Bridge]
Gm D (x2)
(Two hummings there beginning on the Gm)
 
 
[Verse]
                Gm D
The stories are woven
                 Gm D
And fortunes are told
             Gm                             D
The truth is measured by the weight of your gold
               Gm  D
The magic lies scattered
               Gm D
On rugs on the ground
         Gm                             D
Faith is conjured in the night market's sound
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm
    Would you like my mask?
D
    Would you like the mirror?
Gm                                 D
    Cries the man in the shadowing hood
                    Gm   D
You can look at yourself
                     Gm D
You can look at each other
                    Gm                     D
You can look at the face, the face of your god
 
 
[Bridge]
Gm D (x4)
(Two hummings there beginning on the Gm)
 
 
[Verse]
                Gm  D
The lessons are written
                 Gm D
On parchments of paper
                   Gm                   D
They're carried by horse from the river Nile
                 Gm    D
Says the shadowy voice in
                   Gm D
The firelight, the cobra
               Gm              D
Is casting the flame a winsome smile
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm
    Would you like my mask?
D
    Would you like the mirror?
Gm                                 D
    Cries the man in the shadowing hood
                    Gm   D
You can look at yourself
                     Gm D
You can look at each other
                    Gm                     D
You can look at the face, the face of your god
 
 
[Outro]
Gm D (x10)
Gm
