[Intro]
Bm A Bm A (x8)
[Verse 1]
Bm A Bm A
Trapped in a moment of history
Bm A Bm A
You changed the world and the day was yours
Bm A Bm A
Laughing sun flashing from your smile
Bm A Bm A
Your beach-bronzed body braced against the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em
But you forgot the wheel keeps turning
Bm C
And one day the dawn left you behind
D
And though I tried to love you
C
I really have to go
Em D C Em
Cause the world is leaving you behind
D C Em D
The world is leaving you behind
C Em D C
The world is leaving you behind
[Chorus]
Em D C D
I'll sing an african litany for you
G D C D
An african litany for me
Em D C D
An african litany for you
Cmaj7 D
And I hope we see these times through
[Verse 2]
Bm A Bm A
I think this dream is going to end
Bm A Bm A
The past is no longer your friend
Bm A Bm A
Memory upon memory
Bm A Bm A
Binds you into a timeless web
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em
Cause you forgot the wheel keeps turning
Bm C
And one day the dawn left you behind
D C
And now you're trapped there forever
Em D C Em
Till the embers of that glowing day have died
D C Em D
Till the embers of that glowing day have died
C Em D C
Till the embers of that glowing day have died
[Chorus]
Em D C D
I'll sing an african litany for you
G D C D
An african litany for me
Em D C D
An african litany for you
Cmaj7 D
And I hope we see these times through
