_ [Eb] _ _ [Ebm] I made a bulletin _ [Ab] a long, long time ago.
_ [C]
[Eb] I _ was [Ebm] quiet upon the surface, _ [Ab] and everything was beautiful and slow.
_ _ [Eb] _
[Ebm] The only sounds, the only noise, _ were [Ab] songs from treetop kaffirs.
_ _ [Eb] _
Maybe the whistling from the wind, [Ebm] _ a sudden hand clap from the [Ab] thunder,
_ and many other kaffirs [Eb] that made our eyes wonder.
_ _ [Ebm] But now it's a whole other thing.
[Ab] We make a lot of noise when we take a planet,
[C] _
[Eb] _ _ so like [Ebm] myself along with the others, _ [Ab] we just don't understand it.

_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ Yes, all [Ab] that's behind us now.
_ _ [Bb] There's no use [Eb] crying.
_ _ [Ebm] _ If I said we'd make it by going [Ab] back, I'd only be lying.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ So I'll [Ebm] just stretch and find my roots [Ab] today.
_ _ Keep on keeping on, _ [Eb] _ because [Ebm] that's the way it's always been. _
The day [Ab] I was born. _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ I [Bbm] don't _ know what [A] I'm searching _ [Abm] for, _
[B] _ _ but [Bb] I hope you [A] get me a good [E] lord. _
