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


[Verse 1]
D        A            D         
Standing on the Earth - Seagull 
A
flying
D        A            D          
Standing on the Earth - The sky is 
  A
bleeding
D        A            D        
Standing on the Earth - Sun is 
A
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        
I somehow know this is gonna be 
   A
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       
So wipe away those tears and 
               F#m
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         
Standing on the Earth - moon is 
A
rising
D         A            D        
Somewhere in the world - spirit 
A
flying
D        A            D          
Standing on the Earth - leaves are 
  A
falling
D             A
- Taking us away
E            Bm           A     
I never knew whom I could love 
    G            A
more - You or the land
E            Bm        A         
Till I stood lost upon that shore
 G             A
 - 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        
I somehow know this is gonna be 
   A
the end --


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