Eb Ab Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb
Joseph's face was black as the night
Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb Eb Ab
The pale yellow moon shone bright in his eyes
Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb
His path was marked
Bb Eb Ab Eb
By the stars in the southern hemisphere
Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb
And he walked his days under African Skies
Chorus:
Eb Ab Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb
This is the story of how we begin to remember
Eb Ab Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
Eb Ab Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb
After the dream of falling and calling your name out
Eb Ab Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb
These are the roots of rhythm and the roots of rhythm remain
2nd verse Chords stay the same
In early memory mission music
Was ringing around my nursery door
I said take this child, Lord
From Tuscon Arizona
Give her wings to fly through harmony
And she won't bother you no more
Chorus
Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb Eb Ab
Ka-oomba oomba oomba oh
Repeat above part four times (or eight depending on your mood) playing the
chord progression all the way through once more when done before going back
to the first verse. Since this song is so repetive music wise, just listen
and play along a few times until you get it down and jam between any verse
you want.
Take it Cheesy!
