Intro:
 D G     D G  D G D G
     Ah-hmm

Verse 1: Chris Martin:
  G
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
                                                   Bm
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals
     F                                                   C
The sight of the pilgrim's going nowhere in millions of cars

Verse 2: Chris Martin:
   G
Lagos a dream in the distance

From promises he'd made behind
                      Bm
Where there was no harvest
    F
But he missed the sky and its circus
                    Cm
And countless, the stars

Chorus: Chris Martin:
    Em
In Africa

The rivers are perfectly deep
                 G
And beautifully wide
   C
In Africa

The mothers will sing you to sleep
                 G        C
And say, "It's alright, child
       G       C
It's alright"

Bridge:
     D G
Yeah
      D G  D G
Ah-hmm
       D G D
Ah-hmm

Chorus: Chris Martin and Tiwa Savage, Chris Martin:
     Em
In Africa

We dance in the water and hold
                G
Each other so tight
     C
In Africa

The mothers will sing you to sleep
                  Bm      C
And say, "It's alright, child
        Bm     C
It's alright"

Verse 3: Chris Martin:
  G
Joseph rode in on a beam of light

And dreamed of his queen by his side

There'll be a beautiful sunset

And you'll be a beautiful bride
