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: C F C G | C F C. G. C
Well Jo'Canna she runs a Fcountry
She runs in CDurban and the GTransvaal
She makes a Cfew of her people Fhappy, oh
C. G. C
She don't care about the rest at all
She's got a Csystem they call Fapartheid
It keeps a Cbrother in a subjecGtion
But maybe Cpressure will make JoF'anna see
C. G. C
How everybody could a live as one
[chorus:]
Gimme Chope, Jo'anna;F Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme Chope, Jo'anna; 'Fore the Gmorning come
Gimme Chope, Jo'anna;F Hope, Jo'anna
C. G. C
Hope before the morning come
I hear she Cmakes all the golden Fmoney
To buy new Cweapons, any shape of Gguns
While every Cmother in a black SoFweto fears
C. G. C
The killing of another son
Sneakin' aCcross all the neighbours' Fborders
Now and aCgain having little Gfun
She doesn't Ccare if the fun and Fgames she play
C. G. C
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone
[chorus]
[interlude: repeat intro]
She's got supCporters in high up Fplaces
Who turn their Cheads to the city Gsun
Jo'anna Cgive them the fancy Fmoney
C. G. C
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come
She even Cknows how to swing oFpinion
In every Cmagazine and the jourGnals
For every Cbad move that this Jo'Fanna make -
C. G. C
They got a good explana-tion
[chorus]
Even the Cpreacher who works for FJesus
The ArchCbishop who's a peaceful Gman
Together Csay that the freedom Ffighters
C. G. C
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna Cknow if you're blind Jo'Fanna
If you Cwanna hear the sound of Gdrums
Can't you Csee that the tide is Fturning -
C. G. C
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come
[chorus x2]
