Dela
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Intro: D G A D(Or D with variations: D Dsus2 Dsus4 A)
D G A D
One day I looked up and there you were
D G A D
Like a simple question looking for an answer
D G A D
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
D G A D
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores
(The same progression for this)
But what if I don't find when I have landed
Would you leave me here to die on your shores stranded?
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
D G D A D G
I say:\"Dela! Dela! Ngiyadela!
(Content, content I am content)
D A
When I am with you!

Dela! Sondela mama!
D G
sondela D A
(Closer, closer, come closer mama)I burn for you!
Chorus:
D G A D
I've been waiting for you all my life -- hoping for a miracle
D G A D
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
D G A D
I've been waiting for you all my life -- waiting for redemption
D G
I've been waiting day and night
A D
I burn for you
Intro Again.
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
And the image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you
I think I know, I think I know....
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I say:\"Dela! Dela! Ngiyadela!
(Content, content I am content)
When I am with you!
Dela! Sondela mama!
(Closer, closer, come closer mama)
I burn for you!
Chorus
