Johnny Clegg - Dela [HD] chords

[D]
[G] [D]
One day I looked up and there you were Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to [G] throw myself [D] upon your shore
What if I don't find [G] you when I [D]
am dead?
Won't you leave me here to die in a new shore stranded?
Think I know why the dove howls at the moon?
I think I know why the dove howls [G] at the moon?
[D]
I say, De la, De la, venangia De la, [G] when I'm with you
[D] De la, son De la, mama son De la, I burn for you
I've been [G] waiting for you all my [F#m] life, [Bm] hoping for a miracle
[D] I've been [G] waiting day and [A] night, day [D] and night
I've been waiting for [G] you all [F#m] my life, [D] waiting for [Bm] redemption
[D] I've been waiting [G] day and [D] night, I burn for you
A flying bird sings inside [G] the cage that is my [D] heart
The image of your face [E] comes to me when [D] I'm alone in the dark
If I could give a shake to this ache that I have for you
If I could find a voice that says the words that capture you
I think I know, I think I know, I think I [G] know, [D] I think I know
Think I know why the dove howls at the moon?
I think I know why the [G] dove [D] howls at the moon?
I say, De la, De la, venangia De la, when I'm with you
De la, son De la, mama son De la, [Bm] I burn [D] for you
I've been [G] waiting for you all my [D] life, [Bm] hoping for a miracle
[D] I've been [G] waiting day and [D] night, day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life, [Bm] waiting for redemption
[D] I've been [G] waiting day and [F#m] night, I burn [D] for you
[A] Son [G]
[D] [A] [Em] [D]
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
De la, son De la, mama son De la, I burn for you
I've been waiting for [G] you all my [D] life, hoping for [Bm] a miracle
[D] I've been waiting [G] day and [A] night, day [D] and night
I've been waiting for [G] you all [D] my life, waiting [Bm] for redemption
[D] I've been waiting [G] day [D] and night, I burn for [G] [D]
[Bm] [D] [G] [D]
[G] you
[D] I burn for [Bm] you!
