_ _ _ _ Ay yoke, [C#] Ay _ [G] yoke, _ Ay yoke, [F#] Ay yoke, [D#] Ay yoke, [G#] Ay [G] yoke. _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ [G] The _ _ _ current swings, the [F] water [E] sings, [G] a river rhymes,
_ For light is the burden of [A] labor _ [G] When each bends his back with his _ neighbor
[F#m] So [G] each for _ all, we stand or fall [F#]
And all for each until [A] we reach the [G] journey's end
Ayi yoco, ayi yoco, ayi yoco, ayi yoco, ayi yoco
[C#] Sandy the strong, Sandy the wise Writer of wrong, [G#m] hater of lies
[Gm] Laughed as [G#] he fought, [C#] worked as he played [G#] As he [C#] has taught, [G] let it be made
And away you [G#] go, yigade And [G] make it so, yigade
Together all the paddles fall In tune and time
[G#] Ayi yoco, ayi yoco, [G] ayi yoco, ayi yoco
[B] The [F#] current swings, the water sings [G] A river _ rhymes
Ayi yoco, ayi yoco, ayi yoco, ayi yoco
For light is the burden of [D#] _ labor [F] [G] When each bends his back with his _ neighbor
[F#] So each [G] for _ all, we stand or fall _ And all for each until [F#m] we reach [F] the [G] journey's end
_ Ayi yoco, _ ayi yoco, _ ayi yoco, _ ayi yoco, [D#m] ayi _ _ [A#] _ [G] yoco
