Ah-hmm
D Dsus2 D
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
D Dsus2 D Dmaj7/C#
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals
D7sus2/C E7sus4
The sight of the pilgrims going nowhere in millions of cars
D Dsus2 D
Lagos a dream in the distance
D Dsus2 D
From promises he'd made behind
Dmaj7/C#
Where there was no harvest
D7sus2/C
But he missed the sky and its circus
E7sus4
And countless, the stars
Gadd9
In Africa
The rivers are perfectly deep
Bm9/F#
And beautifully wide
Gadd9
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
Bm9/F# Gadd9
And say, "It's alright, child
Bm9/F#
It's alright"
A7 A7sus4 A7
Yeah
Ah-hmm
Ah-hmm
Gadd9
In Africa
We dance in the water and hold
Bm9/F#
Each other so tight
Gadd9
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
Bm9/F# Gadd9
And say, "It's alright, child
Bm9/F#
It's alright"
D Dsus2 D
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
D Dsus2 D
And dreamed of his queen by his side
D Dsus2 D
There'll be a beautiful sunset
D Dsus2 D
And you'll be a beautiful bride
