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!
