 D                A
Yum-m-m-m-oh - Ey-yum-oh
 D           A
Yum-m-m-m-oh - Ey-yum-oh


[Verse 1]
D        A            D         A
Standing on the Earth - Seagull flying
D        A            D            A
Standing on the Earth - The sky is bleeding
D        A            D        A
Standing on the Earth - Sun is leaving
D               A
- Leaving us behind
E                 Bm      A
Once there was an African love song
G                  A
- Helped us on our way
E               Bm   A
Made our hearts feel as strong
G                A
- As the African Day


[Chorus]
D         A          G     A
Bye bye December African rain --
              D
The long gone summer has passed
      A             G          A
And I hear the owls calling my name --
                  Bm         A
The firelight has danced its last
  G         Bm      A
Across your face my friend --
             Bm
And though I love you
  A       G            Bm           A
I somehow know this is gonna be the end --


[Post Chorus]
D                 G    D
- Now the sun has disappeared
Bm  A          G
And all that remains
   Em                D
An old tin mug and a photograph
   E               A                      F#m
So wipe away those tears and remember the good times


[Interlude]
 D                A
Yum-m-m-m-oh - Ey-yum-oh
 D           A
Yum-m-m-m-oh - Ey-yum-oh


[Verse 2]
D        A            D         A
Standing on the Earth - moon is rising
D         A            D        A
Somewhere in the world - spirit flying
D        A            D            A
Standing on the Earth - leaves are falling
D             A
- Taking us away
E            Bm           A         G            A
I never knew whom I could love more - You or the land
E            Bm        A          G             A
Till I stood lost upon that shore - Naked and alone


[Chorus]
D         A          G     A
Bye bye December African rain --
              D
The long gone summer has passed
      A             G          A
And I hear the owls calling my name --
                  Bm         A
The firelight has danced its last
  G         Bm      A
Across your face my friend --
             Bm
And though I love you
  A       G            Bm           A
I somehow know this is gonna be the end --


[Post Chorus]
D                           G       D
- 'Cause all the birds have flown away
    Bm       A       G
The night is closing in
Em              D
It's so hard to say goodbye
   E              A               F#m
To eyes as old as yours my friend


[Interlude]
 D                A
Yum-m-m-m-oh - Ey-yum-oh
 D           A
Yum-m-m-m-oh - Ey-yum-oh

D             A
Where did the time go?
                D             A
Can you tell me where did the time go?
D         A
Time life show
D         A
Life time go
D             A
Where did the time go?
D              A
Where did your life go?
                D              A
Can you tell me where did your life go?
