Ah-hmm
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]

Joseph rode in on a beam of light
G#m
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals
D A
The sight of the pilgrim's going nowhere in millions of cars
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
E
Lagos a dream in the distance
From promises he'd made behind
G#m
Where there was no harvest
D
But he missed the sky and its circus
A
And countless, the stars
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
C#m
In Africa
The rivers are perfectly deep
G#m
And beautifully wide
A
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
G#m A
And say, "It's alright, child
G#m A
It's alright"
[Bridge]
B E
Yeah

Ah-hmm
[Chorus: Chris Martin and Tiwa Savage, Chris Martin]
C#m
In Africa
We dance in the water and hold
G#m
Each other so tight
A
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
G#m A
And say, "It's alright, child
G#m A
It's alright"
[Verse 3: Chris Martin]
E
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
