Two years ago Ali Farka left his people
F5 G5 G#5 A#5 G5
Looking for wisdom
F5 G5 G#5 A#5 G5
And as soon as he'd found it he'd return To his people

A#5 G#5 Gb5
Master has been long away from us on his trip
A#5 G#5 Gb5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years
A#5 G#5 Fb5
Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but
A#5 G#5
wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
G5 Gb5 F5
see who could be coming round to visit us
C5 G#5/C Dm F5 A#5
I can see Farka coming
C5 G#5/C Dm F5 A#5
riding on his arabian horse, the
C5 G#5/C D5 F5 A#5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
C5 G#5/C Dm F5 A#5
I can see our master come
A#5 G#5 Gb5
Still he's far away too far away for me to see, per-
A#5 G#5 Gb5
haps I was mistaken when I thought I saw him come
A#5 G#5 Gb5
Intuition tells me I could maybe be wrong, but
A#5 G#5

G5 Gb5 F5
see who could be coming round to visit us,

riding on his arabian horse, the
C5 G#5/C D5 F5 A#5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
C5 G#5/C Dm F5 A#5
I can see our master come

Party's on, the people gathers, Farka's brought his
Cb5 A#5 A5
wisdom to us, his wisdom to us
