[C] A little more [G] than 50 years ago, a group of young South African men were _ arrested and thrown into prison and sentenced to death for leading their people [Am] _ [G] in the fight against [Am] apartheid.
[G] _
A little over 20 years ago, these same men were released from prison.
_ _ And when they came out, they were very old.
[C] But their spirit [G] wasn't broken.
And they said to us, _ don't burn your country [Am] down like [G] other people do when they get their freedom.
But instead, let us build this country together with those who oppressed us before.
And let us forgive them, but we should never [Dm] forget.
[G] And never again in the future of this land will one group of people ever get to dominate another again.
_ And contrary to what a lot of _ naysayers and unbelievers thought, _ _ _ _ two days ago, three days [C] ago, on [G] the 27th of April, 2015, _ the [G] people of South Africa celebrated their 21st anniversary as a free nation. _

[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ All those wonderful old geezers, _ _ [A] many _
[C#] [G] of them are leaving [A] us now.
And the ones that are still with us [G] are very frail and old.
But we will always cherish the legacy and the heritage they left for us.
So I want to see all of you _ stand up here and shake a little booty.
_ Shake a little booty here _ [E] for all those old geezers and old [G] men nesting Mandela.
Let me see you move to the left, to the right. _ _ _ _
