VERSE 1

Driving down the road under the southern light

Looking back to see where we`ve come from

As we watched the sun go down rain it fell like diamonds
   F
From Kimberley mines

On the road to Jo`burg with the dying light

Farewell Durban city of Natal

Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts as we crossed the borderline

And into Transvaal

Those beautiful African nights

VERSE 3
********
F
In the old VW we`d count the miles

We traveled with a friend whose name was Farr
Bb
The stories that he told us talked of places
             F
Times and faces sang and played his guitar


-----------------------------
VERSE 4
********
F
Driving down the road we hear the morning rise

Leaving all the past so far behind
Bb
The sound man played the Eagles as we listen

Take It Easy echoes on through our lives

I still hear them call

No matter how far

Those beautiful African nights
