G
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
Bm B5(9)
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals
F A4(7)
The sight of the pilgrim's going nowhere in millions of cars
G
Lagos a dream in the distance
From promises he'd made behind
Bm B5(9)
Where there was no harvest
F
But he missed the sky and its circus
A4(7)
And countless, the stars
Em
In Africa
The rivers are perfectly deep
Bm
And beautifully wide
C
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
Bm C
And say, "It's alright, child
Bm C
It's alright
D D4 D5
Yeah
D D4 D5
Ah-hmm
D D4 D5
Ah-hmm
( D D4 D5 )
Em
In Africa
We dance in the water and hold
Bm
Each other so tight
C
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
Bm C
And say, "It's alright, child
Bm C
It's alright
G
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
And dreamed of his queen by his side
There'll be a beautiful sunset
And you'll be a beautiful bride
