_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You know, [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] I never realized [Gm] that a world so [A] incredibly far away [Dm] _ as Africa _ _ could [Gm] be so close to me.
[A] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ Look where we are right now, _ [A] on this pitiful little piece of grass.
[D] _ _ _ _ Suffocated by a sea of cement, _ _ oppressed by all the traffic.
[Eb] _
_ Look at the people, _ _ _ [Dm]
running, shouting, like they've all [G] gone mad.
[B] _ You know, [E] I [A] think I just might go back to Africa.

_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ You can joke, but you can never [E] compare this noisy artificial world [E] with the natural sounds [Dm] of Africa.
_ _ _ A time strange, [A] _ _ mysterious, weird, _ almost [D] unreal.
_ _ _ Look into the sky, [Gm] _
and raise in your arms, you can almost caress [Eb] it.
_ And you feel inside you [Eb] the will to live.
[Dm] _
Your skin burns and you feel a [B] man, more a man, more sincere.
[A] You know, I think I might just go back to Africa.

[Cm] _ You know, _ I've never been so happy [Fm] as this morning.
_ _ [Gm] _ We were walking on a [Cm] beach, _ _ a bit like this one. _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
It was autumn, an autumn where it was [G] raining.
_ We knew that there was only one season in North [Gm] America.
_ _ [C] Over there, we call it the Indian summer.
[Fm] _ But it was simply ours. _ _
[Db] _ With your dress of gold, you looked like a queen of [Cm] the sea.
_ _ [Bb] I remember, [Cm] _
[C] I remember very well what I told you this morning. _
[G] There is a year, there is a [Gm] century, there is an eternity.
[Cm] We will go, _ _ we will [G] drink as much as we want. _ _ _ _ _
[C] And we will love each other, _ when [G]
we fall in love.
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] All life _ _ will be the same [Cm] this morning, _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ _
when we [C] forget _ the [G] Indian summer.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ Today I am very far from this autumn morning. _
[Fm] But it's as if I were [G] there. _ _ _
[Cm] I think of you. _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ Where are you? _ _
[A] What are you doing?
_ _ Do I still exist for you? _
[D] I look at this wave that will never return to the dune.
[Gm] _ _ _ You see, like her I [Eb] go back.
_ Like her I lie on the sand.
I [Dm] remember, _ I [Am] remember the high tide, [Dm] the sun, the happiness of [F] passing on the sea.
There is an eternity, [A] there is a century, there is a [Am] year. _ _ _
[A] [Dm] We will go, _ _ we will drink [A] as much as we want. _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] And we will love each other, _ _ when [Gm] we fall in love.
All _ _ _ _ _
