[Bb]
Well, Jovanna, she [Eb] runs the country.
She [Bb] runs in Durban and the Terence [F] Vall.
She makes a [Bb] few of her people [Eb] happy, [Ebm] oh, she [F] don't care about the [Bb] rest at all.
She's got a system they [Eb] call apartheid.
It [Bb] keeps her brother in her subjection.
[F]
But maybe pressure will make [Eb] Jovanna see how [Bb] everybody could deliver one.
Oh, give me hope, [Eb] Jovanna, hope, Jovanna, [Bb] give me hope, [G] Jovanna, before the morning
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] come.
I hear she makes all that [Eb] golden money to [Bb] buy new weapons and new [F] shape-up guns.
While [Bb] every mother in her [Eb] blacks are wept, oh, [Ebm]
fears [Bbm] the killing [F] of another [Bb] son.
Sneaking across all the neighbors' [Eb] borders, now [Bb] and again having little fun.
She doesn't care if it's [Eb] fun and games she [Ebm] plays, [F] it's dangerous to everyone.
Oh,
[Bb] give me hope, [Eb] Jovanna, give me hope, Jovanna, [Bb] give me hope, [C] Jovanna, before the morning [F]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] come.

She got supporters in [Eb] higher places, who turn [Bb] their heads for the [F] city's son.
Jovanna give them the [Eb] fancy money, oh, [F] to tempt anyone [Bb] who come.
She even knows how to [Eb] swing opinion in [Bb] every magazine and the journals.
For [Bb] every bad move that [Eb] is Jovanna make, they got [Bb] a good explanation.
Oh, give me hope, [Eb] Jovanna, give me hope, Jovanna, give [Bb] me hope, [F]
[Eb] Jovanna,
[Bb] before the morning come.
Even the preacher who [Eb] works for Jesus, the [F] archbishop who's a peaceful man,
together say that the [Eb] freedom fighters will [C] overcome the very [Bb] strong.
I wanna know if you're [Eb] blind, Jovanna, if [Bb] you wanna hear the sound of [F] drum,
can't you see that the [Eb] fight is turning?
[Ebm] Oh, don't make [Bb] me wait till the morning come, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Eb] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Bb] oh, oh, oh, [G] oh, [F] oh, [Bb] oh, [Eb] oh, [Bb] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Eb] oh, oh, oh, oh, [Bb] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [F] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Bb] [Eb] oh
