Verse:
E MajorE         BB    D MajorD          E MajorE
This could be the day I've waited for all my life
          D MajorD
And it's coming true
         BB    D MajorD          E MajorE
This could be the day I've waited for all my life
         BB
And it looks like you

BB
Bells of fire hissing through
  A augmentedA
The dark and tropical night
           E MajorE   BB
Thrown by Nubian slaves

BB              D MajorD          E MajorE      D MajorD
This could be the night I've waited for all my frumpy little life
         BB    D MajorD         E MajorE
This could be the night I cut a malignant growth
         BB
With a steel knife

BB
Tongues of fire hissing through
  A augmentedA
The dark and tropical night
         E MajorE
Thrown by Nubian slaves

Verse:
E MajorE          BB    D MajorD          E MajorE
This could be the train I've waited for all my life
          D MajorD
Coming 'round the bend
           BB    D MajorD           E MajorE
This could be the chain that fettered me all my life
       BB
Coming to an end

 D MajorD   A augmentedA     E MajorE
I always bowed and curtsied
 D MajorD    A augmentedA     E MajorE
I held the candle high
   D MajorD      A augmentedA    E MajorE
And I blessed your valuable feet
       BB
As they went by

BB
Tongues of fire hissing through
  A augmentedA
The dark and tropical night
           E MajorE
Thrown by Nubian slaves

BB E MajorE BB E MajorE BB E MajorE
