CAPO 1st fret
The other version is pretty much spot on, but stops halfway through, so I made
this one. Chords marked with a dot (.) are for half a bar only.
[Intro]
A D A E | A D A. E. A
[Verse]
Well Jo'Aanna she runs a Dcountry
She runs in ADurban and the ETransvaal
She makes a Afew of her people Dhappy, oh
A. E. A
She don't care about the rest at all
She's got a Asystem they call Dapartheid
It keeps a Abrother in a subjecEtion
But maybe Apressure will make JoD'anna see
A. E. A
How everybody could a live as one
[Chorus]
Gimme Ahope, Jo'anna;D Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme Ahope, Jo'anna; 'Fore the Emorning come
Gimme Ahope, Jo'anna;D Hope, Jo'anna
A. E. A
Hope before the morning come
[Verse]
I hear she Amakes all the golden Dmoney
To buy new Aweapons, any shape of Eguns
While every Amother in a black SoDweto fears
A. E. A
The killing of another son
Sneakin' aAcross all the neighbours' Dborders
Now and aAgain having little Efun
She doesn't Acare if the fun and Dgames she play
A. E. A
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone
[Chorus]
[Interlude - repeat intro]
[Verse]
She's got supAporters in high up Dplaces
Who turn their Aheads to the city Esun
Jo'anna Agive them the fancy Dmoney
A. E. A
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come
She even Aknows how to swing oDpinion
In every Amagazine and the jourEnals
For every Abad move that this Jo'Danna make -
A. E. A
They got a good explana-tion
[Chorus]
[Verse]
Even the Apreacher who works for DJesus
The ArchAbishop who's a peaceful Eman
Together Asay that the freedom Dfighters
A. E. A
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna Aknow if you're blind Jo'Danna
If you Awanna hear the sound of Edrums
Can't you Asee that the tide is Dturning -
A. E. A
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come
[Chorus x2]
