I mean, imagine a guy born in _ _ _ Ladysmith, South Africa, writes a song in Zulu, and then hears it sung here _ by an American group, singing his words and his language.
His language is _ _ _ what brought tears to his eyes.
So, _ Joseph, _ _ _ _ I thank, thank, take six on behalf of Joseph and myself. _ _ _ _

_ _ I found a new friend this week.
_ _ She's quite an extraordinary artist. _ _ _ _
Well, you'll, many of you probably know her work, and now you will know it.
She's _ _ coming to sing _ a _ _ song I wrote actually before she was born.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ But yet, that somehow it _ seems, seems right to sing it, to sing it today. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome _ Rhiannon Giddens. _ _ _ _ _ _

[Bb] Many's the [F] time [C] I've been _ _ _ [Dm] mistaken _ _ _ _
And many [A] _ times [Dm] _
confused
_ _ _ [F] Yes, and I've often [C] _ felt _ _ _ [D] forsaken _ _ _ _ _ _ Certainly _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] misused
_ Oh, [Bb] _ _ _ _
[C] _ but [Bb] I'm [Dm] all right
I'm [D] just [F] weary [Bb] _
to [D] my _ _ bones _
_ _ [G] _ _ [G] Still you don't [Gm] expect to [F] be [C] bright [G] and bone
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ So far [E] away _ from [D] _

I don't [Bb] know a dream [C] that's [D] not been [C] _
_ _ [Dm] shattered
_ _ Or _ [A] dreamy
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] Oh, but it's _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] all _
_ [F] right
[Bb] For we've lived [Am]
so [Bb] well [Dm] so long _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
Still when [Gm] I think [F] of the [C] road [G] we're _ [C] traveling _ on
[Dm]
I [F] wonder _ [Em] _ [Bbm] what's gone [D] _ [Dm] wrong
_ [Bb] I can't help [F] it, I wonder _ [C] _ what's [F]
gone wrong _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And I dreamed I was dying _ _ _ _ _ _
I dreamed that my [C] soul rose _ _ _ [Dm] _ unexpectedly _
_ And looking [C] back down at [Bb] me, _ [D] smiling [F] _ [C] surely _
_ [Gm] _ I [C] [F] dreamed I was _ _ flying _ _ _ _
In high up [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] in the sea, _ [Ab] a statue [C] of liberty
[Bb] _
_ _ _ [Gm] Sailing [C] away to sea
_ _ [Dm] _ And I [C] dreamed I was _ [F] _ _
flying _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ We [Bb] didn't come [C] here [D] on the [C] _ Mayflower
[D] _
We came on a ship in a blood red [Dm] moon _ _
[F] We come [Bb] in the _ [F] age's [Em] most _ [C] _ uncertain _ _ [Dm] _
hours
And _ sing on a [A] merry_
_ [D] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gm]
It's all right, all [F] right
You _
[Bb] can't [F] be _ [Bbm] _ _ forever [D] _ _ blessed _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ Still _ tomorrow's gonna [F] be _ [C] another [G] _ _ [C] _
working day
[Bb] And I'm [C] trying to [Bbm] get some [D] _ _ [Dm] rest
[Bb] _ _ That's [F] all I'm trying _
[C] _ to get [F] some rest _
