[G]
[E] He is the
[Bm] light [A]
[B] of the world.
[E]
He is the light of the
[D#m] [A] world.
He is the light of the world.
[B]
[E]
He warms the night and we are sitting here around the fire.
The air is dry and thousands of stars [B] in the sky.
From inside I'm beating so hard and I feel [A] the desire
to dance with Rihanna but [F#m] she is looking [B] so shy.
[E]
[F#] Breaking baby, [A]
[B] night and day I'm thinking [E] of you.
I'm so glad every [Bm] [A] candy I [B] return, you know [E] it's true.
Midnight is near and she's laying in my arms and we're dreaming.
The fire is small and the coldness brings her to [B] my heart.
I look in her eyes and I see a strange [A] kind of feeling.
Maybe she knows that [F#m] tomorrow I [B] have to go.
[E]
[Bm] African [A] baby,
[B] night and day I'm thinking [E] of you.
My [F#] African lady,
[B] I return, you know [E] it's true.
[G#]
[E]
[B] African [G#] baby,
[G] [G#m] night and day I'm thinking of you.
[A]
[E] My [Bm] African lady, [B] I return, you know [E] it's true.
[Bm] African baby,
[B] night and day I'm thinking [E] of you.
My [F#] African lady,
[B] I return, you know [E] it's true.
My [Bm] African baby,
[B] night and day I'm thinking [E] of you.
