[Intro] D D4 D5 D D4 D5 D D4 D5 D D4 D5 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
