Ah-hmm
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]

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

[Chorus: Chris Martin and Tiwa Savage, Chris Martin]

In Africa
We dance in the water and hold
Fm
Each other so tight
F#
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
Fm F#
And say, "It's alright, child
Fm F#
It's alright"
[Verse 3: Chris Martin]
C#
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
