     Ah-hmm 

 
  G 
Joseph rode in on a beam of light 
                                                   Bm 
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals 
     F                                                   C 
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 
Where there was no harvest 
    F 
But he missed the sky and its circus 
                    Cm 
And countless, the stars 

 
    Em 
In Africa 

The rivers are perfectly deep 
                 G 
And beautifully wide 
   C 
In Africa 

The mothers will sing you to sleep 
                 G        C 
And say, "It's alright, child 
       G       C 
It's alright" 

 
     D G 
Yeah 
      D G  D G 
Ah-hmm 
       D G D 
Ah-hmm 

 
     Em 
In Africa 

We dance in the water and hold 
                G 
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
