Joseph rode in on a beam of light
Am
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals

The sight of the pilgrim's going nowhere in millions of cars

Lagos a dream in the distance
From promises he'd made behind
Am
Where there was no harvest

But he missed the sky and its circus
A#
And countless, the stars
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Dm
In Africa
The rivers are perfectly deep
Am
And beautifully wide
A#
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
Am A#
And say, "It's alright, child
Am A#
It's alright"

In Africa
We dance in the water and hold

Each other so tight

In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
Am A#
And say, "It's alright, child
Am A#
It's alright"

Joseph rode in on a beam of light
And dreamed of his queen by his side
There'll be a beautiful sunset
And you'll be a beautiful bride
