Two years ago Ali Farka left his people

Looking for wisdom
G#5 A#5 B5 C#5 A#5
And as soon as he'd found it he'd return To his people

Master has been long away from us on his trip
C#5 B5 A5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years
C#5 B5 G5
Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but
C#5 B5
wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
A#5 A5 G#5
see who could be coming round to visit us
D#5 B5/D# Fm G#5 C#5
I can see Farka coming

riding on his arabian horse, the
D#5 B5/D# F5 G#5 C#5

D#5 B5/D# Fm G#5 C#5
I can see our master come
