[Verse 1]
[D]Zippy mo
[G]rocco with a [A]hat on his [D]head
Set sail for the [G]seven seas
When [A]his mother took to dead

[Verse 2]
[D]
Barely out [G]of teenagedom
When his [A]mental map was unfurled
The [D]next thing that [G]he knew
He found him[A]self halfway

[Verse 3]
around the world
[A]
With [Em]nobody to send
exotic [G]postcards to
With [D]nobody [Em]to send
exotic [G]post[D]cards to

[Verse 4]
Zippy mo[G]rocco as the ad[A]miral
of [D]fleet[A][D]
Might've been wet behind [G]the ears
But he cer[A]tainly was fast on his feet

[Verse 5]
[D]
Put down a [G]mutiny at the
[A]edge of the [D]earth[A]
[D]He knew the value of the
[G]swirling sun
He nev[A]er overestimated his own worth

[Verse 6]

It was the [D]grief [Em]that
whetted his [G]appetite[Em]
It was the grief that whetted his [G]appetite

[Verse 7]
[G]
And the [Bm]waves they do not
tell you [A]welcome
And [G]the sand on the shore
[Em]Does not [A]spell out a hello
[Bm]Salutations they are below [A]the surface
Listen to [G]zippy morocco, he says,
[Em]"that is [A]what [D]I

[Interlude 1]
know"

[Verse 8]
[D]Zippy mo[G]rocco as the
[A]perfect [D]pragmatist
Had a hold on the [G]astronomical odds
And he [A]knew what to risk
[D]

[Verse 9]
Staked a [G]million on [A]an easterly wind
Col[D]lected the holy [G]city
Now the [A]horse traders [D]come to him
[A]

[Verse 10]
With [D]their [Em]beads and
cheese and [G]horses
With their [Em]beads and cheese and [G]horses
[Em]
