Two years ago Ali Farka left his people
E5 F#5 G5 A5 F#5
Looking for wisdom
E5 F#5 G5 A5 F#5
And as soon as he'd found it he'd return To his people

A5 G5 F5
Master has been long away from us on his trip
A5 G5 F5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years
A5 G5 Eb5
Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but
A5 G5
wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
F#5 F5 E5
see who could be coming round to visit us
B5 G5/B C#m E5 A5
I can see Farka coming
B5 G5/B C#m E5 A5
riding on his arabian horse, the
B5 G5/B C#5 E5 A5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
B5 G5/B C#m E5 A5
I can see our master come
A5 G5 F5
Still he's far away too far away for me to see, per-
A5 G5 F5

A5 G5 F5
Intuition tells me I could maybe be wrong, but

riding on his arabian horse, the

shade of him, it can't be mistaken
B5 G5/B C#m E5 A5
I can see our master come

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