G5 F5 Eb5
Master has been long away from us on his trip
G5 F5 Eb5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years

Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but

wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
E5 Eb5 D5
see who could be coming round to visit us

I can see Farka coming

riding on his arabian horse, the
A5 F5/A B5 D5 G5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
A5 F5/A Bm D5 G5
I can see our master come
G5 F5 Eb5
Still he's far away too far away for me to see, per-
G5 F5 Eb5

G5 F5 Eb5
Intuition tells me I could maybe be wrong, but
G5 F5

there must be something big going on now
