Chords for UB40 - Sing our own song (Nelson Mandela concert 1988)

_ _ _ _ _ We here, with the 750 million people watching this [G#] concert around the world,
in 64 different countries,
it's ironic that the one [G] country that wants to hear what we have to say is not listening,
that's South Africa.
_ [G#] _
This song, this next song, _ _ [G] _ _
is about South Africa.
_ _ It's not only dedicated to Nelson Mandela,
[Em] but also Willy Mandela, who keeps on the struggle [G] while he's in South Africa.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#] Steve Biko and all the countless thousands who've died [C] in South Africa,
in the struggle to rid South Africa of [F] the cancer of apartheid.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] It's also dedicated in support of the ANC and SWAPO.
Let's hear you all sing it, this song, it's called Sing Our Own Song. _ _ _ _
