[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Bb] _ We're here in Gambia [F] in a place called Kachi [Eb] Kali.
_ Kachi Kali.
Now, down [Bb] the road, [Gm] there's crocodiles chilling out on the floor.
Yeah, exactly.
[Bb] It's a historical place.
And [G] people don't [F] mind hanging out with the crocodiles?
They don't bite you.
[Eb] Really though?
I'm telling you.
They [Gm] never have?
Never.
[G] I know about it.
[Bb] This tree is a [F] silk cotton tree?
Yeah, it's a silk cotton tree.
[Eb] It's very old and very beautiful.
[Gm]
So, thank you for having me.
[G] _ [Bb] Can you tell me a little bit about this [F] song?
Yeah, there was a few [Eb] months ago, there was some political violence that happened [Gm] in Gambia.
You know, and [Bb] people were fighting, you understand.
[F] There was a little bit of a tribe dispute, you [Eb] understand.
So, I decided [Gm] to write this song for my beloved country, [Bb] Gambia.
It's a song that says peace, love [F] and harmony, you know, [Eb] for our beloved Gambia.
And did it [Gm] work?
It worked.
It worked?
So now everyone's [Bb] getting along?
Everybody's getting along.
[F] So how many tribes do you have here?
[Eb] Is there too many to say?
It's not too many.
It's not too many.
[G] It's seven.
So they're called, tell [Bb] me the names of them.
We have Jola, [F] we have [Bb] Wolof, we have [Eb] Mandinka, and we have Fula, [Gm] we have Manjago, we [Bb] have Aku.
I think that's it, right?
And [F] Seren and Sarawule.
[Eb] Exactly.
And that's it, I think.
[Gm] And your tribe?
[G] Wolof.
Wolof.
Okay, [Bb] cool.
Nice.
And your tribe?
[F] Jola.
And Manjago.
[Eb] And which one's mine?
Wolof.
Wolof.
Jola.
[Gm] _ _
[G] Jola.
But [Bb] he looks like Fula, you know.
So Fula.
[F] Okay, cool.
So we'll be Fula.
[Eb] We're bringing everyone together with this song.
[Em] I'm telling [G] you.
It's lovely, isn't it?
Togetherness.
