[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
Look _ at him crying, just like a [D] western child
Beneath the [Bm] blazing sun, but he could not run
[D] He could not run this green floor
[A] His tears the only rain the [F#m] earth will know
Wish I [D] could go to him, what [Bm] would I say to him [B] then?
[A] Oh, _ let's [D] not forget the need [E] for love
Before [F#m] we turn our heads, [E] close our [D] eyes
Forget what we [E] despise
Should [A] I offer this distance?
Should I say [D] I care for [B] you?
[Bm] And I and the others, [B] sisters and brothers too
[A] Or leave it for someone else, like [F#m] it's been left for me
It's just [D] so easy to say
Another [Bm] time, another [E] day
Oh, [A] _ let's not [D] forget the need [E] for love
Before [F#m] we turn our heads, [E] close our eyes
[D] Forget what we [B] despise
[F#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [D] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ [A] Look at [E] him crying, just like a western [D] child
Wish I [Bm] could go to him, what would [E] I say to him then?
So I'll leave it for someone [A] else, like it's [F#m] been left for me
It's just [D] so easy to say
[Bm] Another time, another day Oh, [A] Africa
Let's not [D] forget the need for [E] love
Before [F#m] we turn our heads, [E] close our eyes
[D] Look away and [Bm] ignore the lies
[F#m] Feed ourselves and enjoy our lives
[D] Forget what we [B] despise
