Key:G
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G G Am Am D7 D7 G G
[Verse 1]
G Am D7
And now I walk the concrete apron,
D7 G
Great Skyliners standing by,
Am
Dare not turn to wave a last time,
D G
Lest they see my hazy eyes.
G Am D
Just like a flashback in a movie,
D7 G
On a screen far in my mind,
G Am D7
I live the precious days all over,
G
All in a molecule of time.
[Chorus]
Am D7 G D
Goodbye, sarai zvakanaka,
G
Try not to let the sorrow tell,
Am D7 G D
Goodbye, sarai zvakanaka,
Am D D7 G
Mashonaland Farewell.
[Verse 2]
G Am
Proud were the eagles on the water,
D7 G
Their mighty wings embraced the sky.
Am
White hooded watchers of the river,
D7 G
No more to hear your plaintive cry.
G Am
And still I marvel at the forests,
D7 G
The Baobab in silhouette,
Am
Golden sunglow on the faces,
D G
Of the folk I can’t forget.
[Chorus]
Am D7 G D
Goodbye, sarai zvakanaka,
G
Try not to let the sorrow tell,
Am D7 G D
Goodbye, sarai zvakanaka,
Am D D7 G
Mashonaland Farewell.
[Verse 3]
G Am D7
The copper trinkets in the window,
D G
The picture postcards of the sights,
G Am
Jacaranda littered sidewalks,
D D7 G
Cricket serenaded nights.
G Am D
Two suntanned arms that were around me,
G
Lips that kissed a fleeting while,
Am
Eyes that questioned me with sadness,
D G
Must sweet togetherness just die?
[Chorus]
Am D7 G D
Goodbye, sarai zvakanaka,
G
Try not to let the sorrow tell,
Am D7 G D
Goodbye, sarai zvakanaka,
Am D D7 G
Mashonaland Farewell.
[Chorus]
Am D7 G D
Goodbye, sarai zvakanaka,
G
Try not to let the sorrow tell,
Am D7 G D
Goodbye, sarai zvakanaka,
Am D D7 G
Mashonaland Farewell.
