Gretchen Peters - Over Africa


CAPO: 2nd Fret




INTRO: C   Cadd9 C   Cadd9 C   Cadd9 C   F C

                                       F C
Under Kilimanjaro she guards her young
                                                    F C
And she speaks to the darkness in the mother tongue
                                         F C
She waits and she watches all night long
                                           F C
Calls to her lover and she sings this song

CHORUS:
          F                 G           F  C
I will be there for you whatever comes
        F               G             F  Am
I am as constant as the beat of drums
                             F
My love is stronger than the noonday sun
     Dm7
Over Africa
     C      G    C   Cadd9 F C   Cadd9 C
Over A---frica____


                                               F C
It's a force of nature, it's the power of need
                                                   F C
Love will heal you, baby, and it'll make you bleed
                                           F C
But I will be patient, I will bide my time
                                   F C
I will be waiting like a mama lion


CHORUS:
          F                 G           F  C
I will be there for you whatever comes
        F               G             F  Am
I am as constant as the beat of drums
                             F
My love is stronger than the noonday sun
     Dm7
Over Africa

Over A---frica____


BRIDGE:
                                F              G
Between love and money, between pride and sin
                             F
We are just wild things underneath the skin
       G                          F              Csus4
In the cradle of creation we were made this way
                        F            C   Cadd9 F C   Cadd9 C
Bound together 'til our dying day_____


                                                   F C
It's the law of the jungle, it's the ancient truth
                                           F C
Live by the senses, baby, die by the tooth
                                                    F C
But I would walk through fire, I would swim the sea
                                             F C
Long as I live and breathe, you belong to me


CHORUS:
              F                 G           F  C
And I will be there for you whatever comes
        F               G             F  Am
I am as constant as the beat of drums
                             F
My love is stronger than the noonday sun
     Dm7
Over Africa
     C      G
