 All twinklin' lee,

Can't see the right roads, when the streets are paved.

            Bb                       Gm
Just concen-trate, 'cos Heaven lives on.
        Bb                         Gm
Retired slave men will look with a-scorn,
                    Eb      F (n.C)                      Bb

       Bb              Gm

Is the sad feelin' of to-morrow.

African Herbsman, seize your time,

I'm takin' il-lusion on the edge of my mind.
           Bb                     Gm
I'm takin' losers down through my life,
                Eb           F (n.C)                      Bb
Down through my life, yeah... (yes, how quick they had to part).

African Herbsman, why linger on?

Just concen-trate, 'cos Heaven lives on.
            Bb                         Gm
Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a-scorn,
                    Eb      F (n.C)                      Bb
With a transplanted heart... (yes, how quick they had to part).

Brings sad feelings of to-morrow.
                            Bb
(Yes, how quick they had to part...)
