Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Dela chords

[D]
[G] [D]
One day I looked up and there you were Like a simple [Em] question looking [D] for an answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw [G] myself upon your [D] shore
What if I don't find [G] you when [D] I have landed?
Won't you leave me here to [G] die on the [D] shore's planet?
I think I know why the dove howls at the moon
[G] [D] I say, De La, De La, me nangia De La, when I'm with you
De La, Son De La, Mama Son De La, I burn for you
I've been [G] waiting for you all my [F#m] life, [Bm] hoping for a miracle
[D]
I've been [G] waiting day and [A] night, day [D] and night
I've been waiting for [G] you all [A] my life, waiting for [Bm] redemption
[D] I've been waiting [G] day [F#m] and night, I burn [D] for you
A flying bird sings inside the cage [G] that is my [D] heart
The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to the stake that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you
I think I know, I think I know, I think I [Em] know, I [Bm] think I know
[D]
I think I know why the dove howls at the moon
I think I [Dm] know why the dove howls at the [G] [D] moon
I say, De La, De La, me nangia De La, when I'm with you
De La, Son De La, Mama Son De La, I burn for you
I've been [G] waiting for you all my [D] life, [Bm] hoping for a miracle
[D]
I've been [G] waiting day and [D] night, day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life, [Bm] waiting for redemption
[D] I've been [G] waiting day and [F#m] night, I burn [D] for you
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [Em] [D]
Son [G] [D]

[D]
I've been [G] waiting day and [A] night, day [D] and night
I've been waiting for [G] you all my [D] life, waiting for [Bm] redemption
[D]
I've been waiting [G] day and [D] night, I burn for
[G] [D] [Bm]
[D] [G] [D]
[G] you
[D] I burn for [Bm] you
[D] Burn for [G] you
