Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Instrumental (A-E-F#m-D)2x

Let me see the world

Let me hear the cries and fools

Let me drive back to the past times

 The past times of Africa...of Africa

But there’s Africa’s big history

The beginnin’ of Apartheid story

By enslaving blacks of Great Africa,

 Under the power of America...America

Refrain

Let the world hear this song

Let’s make the African’s belong

Let the virtues unfold

  pause

So come on, let’s sing out!

Chorus

This is the song of Harmony (The song of Harmony)

The song that’s meant for thee

Let’s make this sympathy

 Of Love, Truth and Unity

 The song of Harmony

  pause ---

The song that sets us free

 Sets us free

Spoken: Instrumental [use the verses chords]

Oh Africa my dear Africa

You came from the greatest history

The twilight times of my dear Africa

Chained into the hell-like story

So I lit a candle on you

The candle of new light of hope and freedom

Let this be with you as you go through

Through the brand new Africa yet to come

(Repeat Refrain)

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I can say to you by song

 Apartheid was surely wrong

 African’s rights must be strong

 Peace on Earth I pray to stay... along

(Repeat Chorus except the last line)

Coda

 Sets us free...

  --- pause

Sets us free...

 The song for you and me
