The Gods Love Nubia Chords by Ensemble - Aida, Heather Headley, Schele Williams

Take me _ [Am] in my dreams, _
_ Recurring,
If [E] _ as a child or dead,
_ _ Into a more taste of freedom, _ _
[F] [Am] You walk [D] _ [C] _ _ _
_ in this [Am] lane,
Of somber music,
_ I shall never, never [Gb] understand,
_ [C] _ Let me slip _ into the sweeter _ _ [F] chorus,
[C] _ _
The [E] _ _ _ [F] _ kind's love will be,
[C] The beautiful, the golden,
[G] The radiant, the fertile,
[C] The gentle, [Dm] [C] and the blessed,
[Fm] The pain of Nubia,
[C] Is only of the [D] moment,
The desolate, the [G] suffering,
The [C] plundered, [G] the oppressed,
[F] The gods love Nubia,
Their [Cm] glorious creation,
Their [Gm] songs roll [C] sweetly,
Across the harvest plain,
[Fm] The tears of Nubia,
[C] A passing aberration,
[D] They wash into the river,
[G] And have never cried again,
[F] The gods love [Bb] Nubia,
[C] We have to be believing,
[G] The scattered and the divided,
We [C] are sinners' [Em] hearts,
[Fm] The whole of Nubia,
[C] Ephemeral and [Em] fleeting,
[E] The spirit [Am] always [C] burning,
Though [F] the flesh [G] is [C] torn apart,
Take the air,
My [F] dreams recur,
The [Am] triple act,
Of [D] sacrifice,
_ [G] _ [C] To war,
[Eb] _ [F] Or take the crown,
[D] For [G]
longing back,
[C] For longing back with [F] them, _
_ [C] The beautiful, the golden,
[G] The radiant, the fertile,
[C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
Nubia, [C] [Am] Nubia,
_ [D] The desolate, the _ [G] _ _ _ [F] suffering,
The gods love Nubia,
We have to be believing,
The scattered and [E] the divided,
We are sinners' [Fm] hearts,
The _
_ [C] _ _ whole of Nubia,
Ephemeral and fleeting,
[E] The spirit [Am] always [C] burning,
[F] Though the [G] flesh is [C] torn apart,
[E] My spirit will [Am] keep always burning,
[C] Though [F] the voice is [G] torn, _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _
_ [Dm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Am] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
