Looking for wisdom
B5 C#5 D5 E5 C#5

E5 D5 C5
Master has been long away from us on his trip
E5 D5 C5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years
E5 D5 A#5
Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but
E5 D5
wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
C#5 C5 B5
see who could be coming round to visit us
F#5 D5/F# G#m B5 E5
I can see Farka coming
F#5 D5/F# G#m B5 E5
riding on his arabian horse, the
F#5 D5/F# G#5 B5 E5

F#5 D5/F# G#m B5 E5
I can see our master come
E5 D5 C5

shade of him, it can't be mistaken
F#5 D5/F# G#m B5 E5
I can see our master come
