John Edmond - The Great White Tribe

G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G

    G+G              C majorC        G+G
Oh the great white tribe was three hundred thousand strong
    G+G            C majorC       G+G
Just a drop in the ocean of the world's mighty throng
  C majorC     G+G     D MajorD    G+G
And under the sun of an African land
C majorC      G+G       D MajorD       G+G
Barefoot as children they walked in the sand
    D MajorD            G+G
But the dreams of a nation were split by the sword
    D MajorD              G+G
And the world rose against them with sanctions and war
     C majorC      G+G     D MajorD      G+G
But they weathered the storm like twigs in the sea
     C majorC       G+G       D MajorD       G+G
And were beached on the shores of the lands that are free

          D MajorD         G+G
Oh the great white tribe, is nothing strange
   D MajorD                   C majorC G+G
Only scattered, never lost in the winds of change
          D MajorD         G+G
Oh the great white tribe, is nothing strange
   D MajorD                   C majorC G+G
Only scattered, never lost in the winds of change


    G+G           C majorC       G+G
Oh the great white tribe are now all on the move
   G+G          C majorC     G+G
With nothing to lose and nothing to prove
     C majorC       G+G       D MajorD       G+G
They have friends in the south who were steadfast and true
      C majorC       G+G          D MajorD       G+G
Now they'll stand by those friends and they'll fight for them too
    D MajorD               G+G
And the twigs will make roots and the roots will be trees
      D MajorD                G+G
And they'll bear forth the fruits and we'll pray on our knees
     C majorC       G+G     D MajorD     G+G
That the tribe will be spared and given the grace
  C majorC      G+G       D MajorD     G+G
To give of themselves to the free-given race

          D MajorD         G+G
Oh the great white tribe, is nothing strange
   D MajorD                   C majorC G+G
Only scattered, never lost in the winds of change
          D MajorD         G+G
Oh the great white tribe, is nothing strange
   D MajorD                   C majorC G+G
