UNDER AFRICAN SKIES
Paul Simon


	Joseph's face was black as the night
	The pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
	His path was marked
	By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere
	And he walked the length of his days
	Under African Skies

	D - G - / D - A - //  repeat throughout

 C:	This is the story of how we begin to remember
	This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
	After the dream of falling and calling your name out
	These are the roots of rhythm
	And the roots of rhythm remain

	In early memory
	Mission music
	Was ringing 'round my nursery door
	I said take this child, Lord
	From Tucson, Arizona
	Give her the wings to fly through harmony
	And she won't bother you no more

 C:	This is the story of how we begin to remember
	This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
	After the dream of falling and calling your name out
	These are the roots of rhythm
	And the roots of rhythm remain

 B:	Ba umba umba umba hey - hey - hey ...

	Joseph's face was black as the night
	The pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
	His path was marked
	By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere
	And he walked the length of his days
	Under African Skies
