Two years ago Ali Farka left his people
F#5 G#5 A5 B5 G#5
Looking for wisdom
F#5 G#5 A5 B5 G#5
And as soon as he'd found it he'd return To his people
F#5
B5 A5 G5
Master has been long away from us on his trip
B5 A5 G5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years
B5 A5 F5
Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but
B5 A5
wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
G#5 G5 F#5
see who could be coming round to visit us
C#5 A5/C# D#m F#5 B5
I can see Farka coming
C#5 A5/C# D#m F#5 B5
riding on his arabian horse, the
C#5 A5/C# D#5 F#5 B5

C#5 A5/C# D#m F#5 B5
I can see our master come
B5 A5 G5

B5 A5 G5

riding on his arabian horse, the
C#5 A5/C# D#5 F#5 B5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
C#5 A5/C# D#m F#5 B5
I can see our master come
A#5 B5 A#5 B5 A#5 B5
Party's on, the people gathers, Farka's brought his
C5 B5 A#5
wisdom to us, his wisdom to us
