D5 C5 A#5
Master has been long away from us on his trip
D5 C5 A#5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years

Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but
D5 C5
wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
B5 A#5 A5
see who could be coming round to visit us
E5 C5/E F#m A5 D5
I can see Farka coming
E5 C5/E F#m A5 D5
riding on his arabian horse, the
E5 C5/E F#5 A5 D5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
E5 C5/E F#m A5 D5
I can see our master come
D5 C5 A#5

D5 C5 A#5
Intuition tells me I could maybe be wrong, but

I can see our master come
