G Joseph rode in on a beam of light Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, Bm corrugate cathedrals F The sight of the pilgrim's going C/E nowhere in millions of cars G Lagos a dream in the distance From promises he'd made behind Bm Where there was no harvest F But he missed the sky and its circus C/E And countless, the stars Chorus: 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" In Africa We dance in the water and hold Each other so tight In Africa The mothers will sing you to sleep And say, "It's alright, child 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 | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsC E Em F G Bm |
