Two years ago Ali Farka left his people

Looking for wisdom
A#5 C5 C#5 D#5 C5
And as soon as he'd found it he'd return To his people

D#5 C#5 Cb5
Master has been long away from us on his trip
D#5 C#5 Cb5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years
D#5 C#5 A5
Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but
D#5 C#5
wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
C5 Cb5 A#5
see who could be coming round to visit us
F5 C#5/F Gm A#5 D#5
I can see Farka coming
F5 C#5/F Gm A#5 D#5
riding on his arabian horse, the
F5 C#5/F G5 A#5 D#5

F5 C#5/F Gm A#5 D#5
I can see our master come
D#5 C#5 Cb5

shade of him, it can't be mistaken
F5 C#5/F Gm A#5 D#5
I can see our master come
