Mr Tembo

D
Injili, Injili
C               G
Can I sing with you
A                   C            
'Bout Mr. Tembo and what he's got
    G
 to do
D
But first I'm going back
C           G
To the Colworth Road
A
To find the mission
     C                G
And help him with his luck

[Chorus]
D                   C          G
Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
A                      C         
With only this song to tell you 
       G
how he feels
D                        C   
But to get there he will need a 
           G
helping hand
A                            C   
It's where he is now but it 
           G
wasn't what he planned
A                            C   
It's where he is now but it 
           G
wasn't what he planned

[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

D
Injili, Injili
C                 G
We will sing with you
A
Just like the T.V
C              G
In Mr. Tembo's room
Continúa después del anuncio
D
Off the emphatic night
   C                  G
He checked in on his own
A               C
At Mkombozi Inn and
           G
Made it his home

[Chorus]
D                   C          G
Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
A                      C         
With only this song to tell you 
       G
how he feels
D                        C   
But to get there he will need a 
           G
helping hand
A                            C   
It's where he is now but it 
           G
wasn't what he planned
A                            C   
It's where he is now but it 
           G
wasn't what he planned


[Verse 3]

D
Injili, Injili
C               G
We will sing to you
A
'Bout Mr. Tembo
     C               G
And what he's going through
D
Gets up early
C                      G
While you are still in bed
A                 C             G
Mr. Tembo, green blanket by his head

[Chorus]
D                   C          G
Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
A                      C         
With only this song to tell you 
       G

           G

[Interlude]
Hey, you keep those lions off the 
front of the boat!
Good god, man! Have you some cotton 
in your ears?!
I'm trying to run this expedition in
 a decent manner!

The 264 is gulf, bungalow, styles, 
canals, cows, haybells
Telegraph wires, pylon power
Farmhouse over chimneys still used
Stone, satellites, football, 
pictures, favorite flags, and lots 
of dogs
Neon cross on top of a block of 
slates on a church, not as usual

[Chorus]
D                   C          G
Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
A                      C         
With only this song to tell you 
       G
how he feels
D                        C   
But to get there he will need a 
           G
helping hand
A                            C   
It's where he is now but it 
           G
wasn't what he planned
A                            C   
It's where he is now but it 
           G
wasn't what he planned
